Link2Hell Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 top looks like female electric blue middle looks like Tropheops sp? bottom looks like male Mel Chipokae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonFishin Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I agree with Link, however I think the top one may be a female flameback. Or at least a Victorian of sorts. A side on pic would help. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 As said in other post, we'd need more pics of the top fish showing actual colours for a better chance at an ID. Most likely female zebra or afra of some sort. The second pic is most likely a young male Tropheops sp. Chilumba, or even a red shoulder mac. A few more pictures please. Did he change from an orange to that colour, or did he slowly develop the red shoulder as a grey / blue fish from birth? Third fish Mel. chipokae?

Shepos Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 The second one.....when we first got him he was very orange and looked very much like a Saulusi.....but gradually he has developed the banding and also shows deeper blues sometimes. i will work on better pics of the rest. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbuna Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 he would then be a chilumba variant as they change from yellow to male colouration wheras red shoulders start off as a silver colour with black patterning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
