dunl Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Looks to be African hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 It looks like a zebra to me. Not that I know a lot about Africans, but definitely African. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 My guess would be something in the Pseudotropheus elongatus complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevchewy Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Where did you get him/her from? What was he/she sold as? what does he/she look like when colored up? i would guess a Met. callainos crossed with an Afra variant... just my guess though... nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharuq1 Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 It was from the local Wal-Mart in Red Deer (lol, I know what a great lace to buy fish hahaha). They had it listed as a Kenyan or Kenyi or something. Well it is not a Kenyi lol. It gets a bit bluer when colored up but not by much, certainly nothing like the moori. Stays pretty much the paler color for the most part as he has not been dominant in the tank for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevchewy Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Female Kenyi are blue with dark bars on the side... you can see a picture of what a female Kenyi should look like here: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=798 The stripes do not look right to be a Kenyi but it very well could be a Kenyi hybrid with another type of Mbuna... nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
