Hi Mojodex!
That fish is a Malawi cichlid called " The Pearl of Likoma", Melanochromis joanjohnsonae! :rolleyes:
Your fish is a female, the males have a beautiful irridescent blue colored body with a blackstriped dorsalfin!
They live only in one locale near the island of Likoma in Lake Malawi and are getting more rare in nature!

YES!!! thats it cheers thai fighter :good: well now thats done 1 question, how do we think it will survive with tangs? or should i move it to the malawi tank? :unsure:
 
It may well bully the tangs as it grows but as they have all been added as juvies, you might be OK. If you like the fish - i would see how things pan out. If you have doubts - just return it. :good:
 
Well, Mojo since you already have a Mbuna tank why not move to that one and maybe find a male as well!? :rolleyes:
