Female: This fish is large enough to show male like color or markings and has yet to do so - however, a few males can be late bloomers
Part Color Male: This fish has
signs of being male, usually slight color, egg spots, or other male like
markings. Some fish, especailly haps can be slow to turn full color.
Male: These are full color male fish. Mbuna fish are tough to sex and may occasionally full me.
WILD: This fish is collected
from their native body of water and imported for the aquarium trade. I
rarely get these type fish; but, sometimes they are available by special
order.
F1: This fish is the progeny of two wild cichlids and are one generation removed from the wild
F2: This fish is the progeny of two F1 cichlids and are two generations removed from the wild
Pair/Trio Only: These fish are sized based on the male's size (females may be an inch or more smaller)
There are no guarantees of sex,
compatible pair, or compatible trio combinations; all fish sold as male
and female are considered 'likely male' and 'likely female' respectively
