Help With My Peacock Cichlid Please!

[codbod_2409]

Hi im Codi. im new to owning cichlids from lake malawi. any way i recently bought a peacock cichlid in a tank group described as mixed colours... after settling in it is showing its colours as having light sky blue scales all over its body with blue and orange ish fins... cant tell what gender it is but can anyone please help me as to what kind of peacock cichlid it is? ive studied and so far it looks like it can be a dragon blood peacock

hi , im new to african cichlids myself too , but from what ive been reading those fish in tanks marked up as things like "mixed malwais" etc have a high chance of being hybrids. im sure youd get a better answer if you could get a pic and post it in the african section of the forum .
