Anyone aware of any primarily GREEN colored african cichlids that I could add to my all male Peacock / Hap. tank?

I looked at that one (green face saulosi) but it doesn't really look green...

looks more blue and yellow.. which I have in my tank already.

Any other options?

That looks better, I'll have to see if I can find one to look at in person...

Anything else?

The green face lethrinops looks nice.. but might get too big for my tank....

Thanks guys.. I'll keep looking but I think you may be right.. there just aren't many...

Most Lethrinops don't get much bigger than peacocks and the smaller to medium-sized Haps. There's very little known about them though so getting consistent information can be difficult.

For the most part though, if you want a nice green, Lethrinops is the way to go.

I asked about the color of the Tramit once...wanted assurances it was really green or colored versus silver. The answer was it is a really nice teal at certain angles and silver at others. Sort of irridescent so not always the teal color.

I've looked and not found anything with much green.

These will not color up if they are stressed. They need very mild mannered tank mates to see the nice colors.

I would say the Ruby Greens are your best bet...I have had my group for 4 years and are housed with a wild group of Pseu. Demasoni. My dominant Ruby is 90% in color all the time. They are in a 90 and kinda have a line in the sand that neither cross, and both stay great looking.
