Swapped Some Fish Today To Sort Out My Stocking Could I Have A Few I.d

[mark7616]

as i said i took some fish back today so just looking for some i.d`s please
this is the first one im certain he is a pseudotropheus salousi just confirming.


Thought this one was an elongatus now might be wrong.


The man said this was an ice blue something couldnt remember what said it had 2 o`s in it any ideas?


and this unusual little chap no one knew what he was but my wife wanted him.

Pic 1 is definately a salousi, and pic 3 looks like a female metriaclima greshaki aka ice blue zebra. Not sure what the others are. Hope that helps.

Thanks i dont think its a greisheki though different colour and markings could be wrong though.

hi mark not sure on ids but i can tell you that pic 3 is defo not a greshkai as i breed them and it defo aint one of them. although the last pic looks like by its mouth shape a fullaborni(not sure about the spelling)
cheers stewy

 

[mark7616]

Pic 3 is a Socolofi.

Pic 3 is a Socolofi.

I thought a socolofi was blue or the albino form?

 

[Ferris]

Its a sub-dominant Socolofi, presumably there are more dominant fish in the tank. It will not display its full colouration if intimidated by other Mbuna.

 

[mark7616]

its only a young juvie its about 1" long so what do you think these 2 are
i was thinking this could be demansoni


and not got a clue what this one is

 

[Ferris]

1st one is defintaely not a Demasoni, looks like 1 of the Afra species.

2nd one is either one of the labeotropheus species or an Aulonocara. I can't tell from the pics whether it has the overhanging top lip that labeotropheus have, if not, its almost certainly a juvie Aulonocara, probably female.
