Help! What kind of cichlid is this. Thanks

JDogg · 07-09-2006, 09:18 PM

I believe it is a Kadango (Cyrtocara borleyi)

Looks to me like it could be a juvi Maylandia mbenjii. Definately a Malawi Mbuna.

looks more like an c. afra variant to me.

Jalo Reef - colour is off putting though..

maybe a juvi, or a hybrid.

good luck

That looks like my Metriaclima greshakei. We call him digger.

I thought the same thing Anne. But the tail coloration is what made me look the other way. But it could quite possibly be a Greshakei (AKA Red Top Zebra AKA Ice Blue).

The tail colorization might be lighter from the flash. Digger has the same color tail and fins and in flash shots they look much lighter. Hard to be sure though.
