Re: Need help id'ing cichlid!
I think it may be a Sciaenochromis fryeri but it's hard to tell for sure from the picture, and because I have not kept any cichlids. This page should help you make a positive id on him
Electric Blue Hap, Sciaenochromis fryeri

Re: Need help id'ing cichlid!
I am 100% sure that it is an electric yellow peacock. I have kept several of these over the years. Go to Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums go to african cichlids and then click and yellow peacock and you will find a pick of a fish that is almost identical to yours.

Re: Need help id'ing cichlid!
Sorry, I was wrong about the photo on liveaquaria. Their fish has an abnormal amount of yellow on him. Just google juvenile yellow peacock cichlid and you'll get the correct ID on your fish.

Re: Need help id'ing cichlid!
its not a peacock. I own alot of peacocks, it doesnt even have the body shape of one. To me it looks like a tanganykan cichlid. looks to be also an african river cichlid. Its not a malawi or victorian for sure.

Re: Need help id'ing cichlid!
I started keeping lake malawi cichlids a couple of months ago and the first one I bought was a Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei". it looks very much the picture you posted.
Here is a link that may be of use: Species Profiles -- Cichlid-Forum Hope you manage to get the proper ID ! |
