Our Mbuna mixes are made to be varied as possible. This is the perfect setup for anyone who is looking for lots of activity and color. We do our best to get you fish in the two-inch range but there may be some smaller ones if you order one of the larger packages. You can choose to go with a more natural aquarium with the unsexed ones or All-Male if that is your preference. Our all Male listings are fully guaranteed so in the unlikely event a female sneaks past us contact us and we will make it right. Mixes are our pick and are not labeled.
Sizing and difference between Adults and Juveniles.
When we list size, it is the minimum size that is currently being offered. It can and in many cases will be a little bigger than what is listed. All measurements are from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail fin. Many of our fish look far different as juveniles than they do as adults. Also, in most cases, males are much more colorful than females. We do our best to provide pictures of both an adult male in breeding color and a picture of juveniles. We are asked occasionally how we can sex fish at the

juvenile size. Sexing fish at juvenile sizes is easy if you have the experience and know what to look for. The real trick is to make sure you have 20-30 of the same fish in the tank. Then you can usually pick out several that are showing dominance in the tank. When in doubt, we do vent them with a high-end, video magnifier.
As always, if we make a mistake and you have bought a listing for a guaranteed male and it turns out to be a female, then we will replace it at our cost no matter how long it has been.
