Fish species help?

[p1ngu]

Hi, all i was looking at some fish at a breeders place, i saw a very attractive fish, he called it " maphanga ". i have no idea what they are, can anyone spell it properly or even tell me the proper name to these fish? ill try get a pic, but i cant find any atm.

Could it be Labeotropheus trewavasae (Mpanga) - Which is known as a Mpanga Red

thanks guys, it was the link u posted ferris, and jimw13uk .

Are these guys fairly popular fish?

Also, i have a female lithobates, a POSSIBLE female electric blue ( fryeri ) and a Female sunshine? peacock.

Please correct me if its not a sunshine peacock. i cant find any links on the sunshine peacock.

ill post images of them, how do i attach images to here? instead of pasting a site there, eg. photobucket.

thanks.

Was that from Oasis by any chance, i saw them in there the other day. I was seriously tempted but I think my Demasoni would terrorise one Too similar in appearance.

Do u know what a sunshine peacock looks like/proper name? its different to a blue peacock.

Thanks.

nah thats not it, its a different colour, ill try get a piccy of it.

ill post some piccys of my fish here anyways.

Thats why we always try and use the true latin name because every LFS seems to make up their own names for fish like this. The link i gave you is for the true sunshine peacock, try and get the proper name or like you say, pics.

Heres a pic of a baby electric blue that i am raising, colours are showing up slowly..ill get pics in about 20mins of the sunshine peacock and a mpanga. hope u enjoy this

ahah thanks, that blue is just starting to colour up..heres a pic of my frontosa 6 bar, its about 10cm long now, alos theres a bumblebee catfish underneath it

Also, this fish here needs to be id. The lfs reckons its a cobalt blue or red top black bar zebra, its only small around 3-4cm. what do you think it is?
