Best Blue Cichlid..?

[Big Tex]

I've been searching for a nice blue fish for a while, I like electric blues but I don't like the body structure, I would love a blue Cobue like this one but idk where to get one, anybody have a favorite site to order from..? I've never ordered online before!

Caquetaia Umbriferus.

That is a nice fish but I should've mentioned I have mostly mbuna and cobue in my tanks.

I really need some help with the online ordering guys I have no clue how to go about it and especially since they go but scientific names! Lol

Parachromis dovii maybe?

Parachromis dovii maybe?

Nope, I don't really like flowerhorn looking fish.. I'm really interested in a cobue or mbuna but open to other ideas as well like maybe a nice zebra..?

Dovii dont look anything like flowerhorns.

Also- you probably should have mentioned you want african cichlids people can help more when they know a little more info

Go to petsolutions, live aquaria, or eBay. I recommend petsolutions. The shipping is usually around $15-20. They ship in insulated boxes that arrive in one day. Petsolutions has A LOT of fish for sale and just look up cichlids and you will get quite a few results.

Nope, I don't really like flowerhorn looking fish, or anything "largemouth bass" looking.. I'm really interested in a cobue or mbuna but open to other ideas as well like maybe a nice zebra..?

Just an FYI, flowerhorn are hybrids...Dovii occur in nature and are their own species, hence the scientific name Parachomis dovii. Nothing alike.

You are in the cichlid discusion. There are new world cichlids and old world cichlids. You have (by what i have gathered) old world cichlids so therefore i cant help you because i know didly squat crap about them lmao sorry

Edit: ok I'm in the Cichlid discussion what the heck, I'm not trying to piss anyone off and I'm apologizing now if I did, I just like the body types I listed or anything close.

Again I do apologize guys!
