To some people, a pair is two fish. It doesn't matter the sex of them. I hope you stated that you wanted a breeding pair (or at least a male and a female).
Upping your water changes might help out. I find that you're doing what I'll call the bare minimum for a lightly stocked tank. I would try doing an extra water change now, and see if that helps get the appetite back. You might want to make your water changes at least bi-weekly.
Another thing...
Ok, the man that originally had these fish had an opportunity to come to the house today, and he told me that these may be Dehane and not Kienke as he was saying earlier.
So, the verdict may be Dehane. What do you guys think?
Very nice pics of your taeniatus Ted. Heck, of the Pelvicachromis on that page!
I guess now I need to find a male kienke. Any ideas?
I will be going to ACA so it may be possible to get one there.
I FINALLY got ahold of the guy and he no longer has the fish. However, he knew he had three varieties but wasn't sure which one the other guy had anymore. So, my choices are the following.
Bipindi
Wouri
Kienke
He seems to think it's kienke but he can't recall, so hopefully we can figure...
Call the water company to be sure. They will give you test results if you ask nicely.
I used to live in Windsor and the water tastes HORRIBLE! I can't imagine it's all that great for the fish.
The problem is I was only given the females. There was no male in the group. I'm working my way back to who had them originally. As far as I can see, none of the females have any spotting.
Hi guys,
Didn't want to waste the bandwidth here (and I already posted this elsewhere), so could someone follow the link and tell me what locale this female Pelvicachromis teaeniatus is?

Just an FYI. Dicrossus must be on some petstore lists as my local petstore even has a large sexable pair in the store. There's a definite male in there as he's got the lyretail.
Hopefully when I find my charger, I can get more pics, but that's the best pic I have right now. The pic that's there is representative of them all. Same size, same colours.
