I should know this especially to redeem myself on the previous slam from N&N for the MB.... Aulonacara maylandi sulfur crest. Only problem is I'm pretty sure I'm wrong because the maylandi has the vert. barring and if you look in my galery I'm sorry to say I had one and have forgotten the name.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Sorry sleepy but not a aulonacara, good guess though they both have that blaze running down there head easy to confuse but there are two others that have the same body style with that same Blaze running down there forhead the only thing that sets this one apart from the others is its color on the body this one has some yellow on it sides....


Let that be a huge hint...

[sleepyflight]

Like I said I was pretty sure I was wrong because I've had these before and the name in my head wasn't making sense....has more of an elongated body also and mouth structure is diff. from an Aul. (slightly). I've had both sulfur crest and one with white.....my brain just won't work. :screwy:

A shot in the murky dark here, the venustus, Haplochromis venustus?

It's a sulphur crested lithobates, Otopharynx lithobates.

[Nate_N_Nicole]

I Never heard it called a sulphur crested lithobates but you did guess the scientific name correct so you are the winner... I've heard it called a yellow blaze lithobates and a Z-Rock lithobates but anyways post a pic when you get a chance!!! If you can't post a pic, pic some one to post one for you....

[blacktip]

The common name was something I found on the web today. I had never seen them with a common name before. Anyways, here are two pics of the next fish:

Lol, goddammit guys, stop posting pics of haps and peacocks! I can ID just about any mbuna out there, but I know like one or two haps/peacocks :P

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Capadichromis Mloto - Ivory head Mloto :thumbsup:

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Well sence He is taking to long I'm going to take matters into my own hands and say I was correct and post the next contestent... This is probably the rarest form of Mbuna It is know for one specific trait...


AND HERE HE HIS

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Sorry pictures are so small these are all I could find of him...

[Caveman]

Come on guys post some pictures of some West Africans. They are the only Africans I even stand a chance of identifying. :)

[Nate_N_Nicole]

Well I guess this is a Monsters Forum and these guys are only 7 inches at best... But thats the way it goes.... Do some research and find the fish.... This game is more about learning the different species of fish then trying to find fish that everybody can guess... :thumbsup:

[guppy]

Aulonocara nyassae?
