Got these two today

The colorful one might be some type of elongatus? He is a mean fish. He is already chasing others away.

The yellow that looks like maybe a kenyi?

You guys let me know.

 

[Elkairos]

Yellow one is a male Kenyi, the other looks like a mix?

 

[snowman17]

Yep male kenyi and some sort of Melanochromis hybrid.

 

[CameronCade]

Thanks guys. And what color is a female kenyi? Blue?

 

[The boring name]

Female kenyi are almost always blue so yup

 

[Elkairos]

Female kenyi are almost always blue so yup

You have seen yellow female kenyis? Hybrid?

 

[MMantelli]

The first one looks like a male johanni that is starting to transform from the yellow youth to the blue adult color but its hard to tell being blurry and all. I have 2 and the second one I got from a private breeder is almost done doing the same thing. The last one Im not sure about.

 

[The boring name]

No they were not hybrids but were yellow and holding thought it was very unusual

 

[snowman17]

What are they? They look like a hybrid I had before

 

[Cecil2010]

No No No i am 100% positive yellow one is a Pseudotropheus crabro "bumblebee" and the blueish one is a male Melanochromis chipokae.

 

[snowman17]

Here's a chip don't think he has one

 

[Cecil2010]

his is either a sub dominate male or a hybrid with an auratus but i know that it is some form of chipokae

The yellow "fish" has passed away . He was getting bullied a lot. I will be getting my refund.
