Hmmm tricky it is a lovely looking fish though. What about the possibility that it is a dealer breed colour morph?

may well be Matt

Sold to me as "Blue Zebra" by Maidenhead Aqautics some months ago

I'd say it's the afra as the "crabro blue" isn't seen often.

LFS like to label almost every blue mbuna Blue Zebra.

i am breeding this fish!

by the looks of it, i would say it is some sort of Cynotilapia afra!

are they only small? as these fish are dwarfs (small fish)

see my picture down the bottom, that is a fully mature Cynotilapia afra.

Well i originally got x4 sold as "Blue Zebras", and actually i was wondering if there had been colour changes.

Bascially, two of the four are exactly as you see in the pics at the top of this thread.

I also have this fish in my tank, and i cant remember what i purchased it as, and was wondering if its one fo the Blue Zebra's (or Afra's perhaps) i originally got? But its a bit bigger (not by much its about 2.75 to 3.00 inch), so i am really not sure.

what do you think?

thanks

i dont know what sort of fish it is!

its to blue to be a Afra, and the face is not like the afra!
