yet another mbuna ID thread
I really wish I could find a local shop with reliable classifications. Anyone in NYC have any suggestions?
I picked this fella up this morning. He was with other cichlids labeled "pseudotropheus rusty" although the others didn't have his blue coloration- they were predominantly brown with a bit of yellow throughout. He also has barring that is not very apparent in the photo - the bars are usually dark blue. I had never heard of Ps rusty, nor can I find any literature indicating it as a valid species. I'm thinking he may be Iodotropheus sprengerae ("rusty cichlid"), although they typically are more lavender than blue... or perhaps Pseudotropheus tropheops, although I don't think his face is long enough. Any ideas?   Last edited by graybot : 04-03-2012 at 11:30 PM. |

Thanks! Cichlid forum seems pretty certain he's a hybrid. His colors seem awfully vibrant for a hybrid, though, and the pattern of yellow around the face and gills looks pretty specific.
