Got some new fish today

[Dixie]

When I started out buying fish I was thinking of going with an all male tank (one male of each species) so I bought 3 of each species thinking there should be a male in the 3 then I was going to return any females and extra males, when they got to the size that I could determin the sex.

Turns out I couldn't bring myself to return females lol. Three of my species turned out to be all males (haven't been able to return many extra males either lol). Today I found some little ones that I was needing more females of so I got some and put them in my 10g. tank to grow out a little and hopefully I have females.

I'm not great at taking pics but I'll see what I can do.

[Ryuu]

Lol yeah pics good, do you happen to have a rusty?

[Billythefish]

Are your fish malawi cichlids?

[Ryuu]

yeah hers are I believe

[ILuvMyGoldBarb]

What species did you actually get? LOL

[gem]

LOL That's what I was wondering.

No pics yet. Yes, they are all malawi. I got the only little albino socolofi they had. The only red zebra that didn't have an egg spot showing yet. The best looking one that I thought might be female yellow lab, and 3 tiny auratus. I'm hoping all are female but I'm not very lucky like that lol. I probably should have got more of the auratus because the last 3 I bought all 3 turned out to be male. What are my chances of all 3 of these being female like I need? Slim, so I think I'll go back and get more of them if they still have them. lol
