can anyone tell me

i just got a new fish yesterday (but i dont know its name) its orange and it is rather small its exactly like yellow labidichromis but orange and it has a white spot on the bottom fin. What is the fish and why is there a white spot on the bottom fin?!!!!!! :?: :?: :?: :?:

 

red zebra

 

Look like this?


The spots on the anal fins of africans are called egg spots. They play a roll in breeding behavior. The female thinks they're eggs, bites at them, and that makes it easier for the male to fertilize the eggs she's already picked up in her mouth. That being said, females can also have egg spots.

ya exactly exept it only has 1 egg spot on the anal fin.

 

its a african red zebra then like i had said what are you keeping these fish with

 

i am keeping it with 2 jewels 1 leopard.

 

Hmmm . . . not the best mix of fish.

Red zebras are herbivores. Too much protein in their diet can kill them.

Jewels are omnivores and require a moderate amount of protein. They also prefer slightly softer water than the red zebras (not always a huge issue if they're not wild caught).

Leopard cichlids get a lot larger than the other fish and very well could kill them. They're also omnivore, btw.

And all of those are highly aggressive fish.
