Hi guys. I recently bought this lovely fish. It was described at the store as an Electric Blue Maingano Johanni. After much research I have found out that they are infact two different breeds.

What I would like to know is what is this? Is it a Maingano or a Johanni. As I believe female Johanni are yellow and female Maingano are blue. So is this a female Maingano, a male Maingano or a male Johanni?

Thanks in advance. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422342848.394138.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422342865.480986.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422342874.168707.jpg

The top photo shows a smaller adult with a light blue belly....behavior is docile. I'm guessing it's a female Maingano.
The bottom photo shows larger adult with defined black and blue stripes and darker face......behavior is aggressive.
I've had them since they were juveniles.
