Clarice Brough - 2013-04-24 The 'Sex: Sexual differences' section above gives you a good idea of how to tell the difference between the male and female. As it points out, it is difficult, only once they are mature are your chances are a bit better.
liz - 2013-04-22 I have six blue moori juviniles in a five foot community tank. my tank is very mixed with fish that arent supposed to be compatible, but i have never had any problems with them. the moories have been a great addition to the tank, swimming around in a group together they don't disturb any of the other fish, and vice versa. my bossy parrot fish tried to show them who the tank boss was at first, but they quickly put him in his place and peace has reigned ever since. I realise that at some point i will have to get another tank for all the bigger species in my tank, but that is a few years away yet and I am enjoying watching them all together at the moment.

Clarice Brough - 2013-04-22 Very nice that your Blue Moorii additions are doing well and everybody's happy! I've had similar situations Liz, fish that aren't supposed to be compatible doing fine if the tank is large enough and there is enough diversity in decor and tankmates to keep everybody occupied.

Clarice Brough - 2013-01-18 Congratulations! That is so exciting... let us know how they do. I've been working on trying to breed some geophagus, but no action yet. Also Jack Dempseys, and they are spawning. So I really like hearing about successes:)
parrot_moo - 2005-10-01 I had three of these "blue beauty of the malawi lake". They are all 3-4 inch in length and I raised them in 55 gallon tank mixed along with blood parrot and other fish. These fish love peace! They never bully or bother any other fish, but I dont know how will they act if the time for spawning had came - maybe they will get naughty! They are the most beautiful blue cichlid from all of other african's mbuna cichlid to me! Rumor said they are slow in growth rate but I dont really care about that... As long as they are healthy and happy, I will love them forever!
mbomfaya - 2009-11-20 My 2.8 inch blue moorii, from my judgment, finds a comfortable life stocked in a tank with many other fish. They are so attractive and they are also very healthy. I term my moorii mother of peace, as they are too friendly and hardly bully other fish.
donna - 2007-09-27 We have a colony of blue dolphins and they are very bosy and think they are the kings of our 8ft tank. They are beautiful fish and keep the tank looking lively.

mike ginter - 2010-03-01 So there is no really way to tell the male and female apart. What about their anal fins, on most fish you can tell. Males have sharp points and females have rounded anal fins. Can you tell the blue moori that way to.
scott - 2011-03-25 Just wondering how much is a dolphin fish worth I know someone who is trying to sell me one for $50 Australian dollars but tells me you can buy them up to $1000 aus is this correct?
David Brough - 2011-03-30 I don't know if there are specialty or show fish of this breed but a normal price at That Pet Place for this species is $10-15 US
Catherine - 2012-04-26 Hi, I have a few blue dolphins, I was wondering if you know at what age their hump will start to form?
The Blue Moorii is called the 'Hump-head' because it will develop a pronounced bump on its head!

My guy loves to swim around with our breeding pair of aceis. I think he thinks he's one of them

I like fish but turtles are better.
You can have both - probably not in the same place.
