jvision Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The blue guy looks like a Ps. elongatus, the pinkish may be a zebra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rED O Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The blue guy looks like a Ps. elongatus, the pinkish may be a zebra. he might be, and the orange guy is a mix between a red zebra and a kenyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Neither of them are Kenyi's. I think the white one is some type of metriaclima estherae "zebra". The blue one isn't an elongatus. It looks like a maylandia pheaos. He is much too thick in the stomach area to be an elongatus of any type. We have male and female kenyis, and the difference with them and these is that the kenyi only have about 5-6 thick verticle bars on them, yet the pheaos and other types of zebras tend to have 7 or more thinner stripes. The females don't tend to have egg spots either on the Kenyi.
