Looks like a Freiberg's Peacock Cichlid http://www.greenparktropical.com/Fish/images/Cichlids/african/Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi.jpg
IMO it looks like a young male Aulonocara jacobfreibergi, but I am also nothing of an expert on Aulonocara sp.. If you really want a better ID you'll have to wait until it colors more. Hybrids are always a possibility so keep that in mind.dapike1979;166059; said:I just purchased a suppossed Apache peacock at my local lfs store for 30.88$can. He is 1.5'' What do you think?
Your fish bears a great resemblance to Protomelas spilonotus from Mozambique or Mara Rocks.rebent;2645772; said:View attachment 306585
Hello I am new here I thought this would be a good place for my first post. I have one of these fish (I tried to attach the picture not sure if it will work) You will probably not be able to tell what it is until it matures. It is for sure a malawi peacock but that is about all you will know until it starts to mature. Mine has just recently started coloring up.
Welcome to MFK, I agree this looks like a Protomelas spilonotus Mara Rocks, I have been wanting some of these! Just a little advice you need to make a separate thread of your own so you don't derail someones thread.rebent;2645772; said:View attachment 306585
