African Cichlid Guessing Game

[bal]

hmmmmm how about......Aulonocara koningsi,Mbenji Peacock, Blue Regal???

 

[mike dunagan]

none of those...

young pair I picked up at the last auction for 10 bucks...

 

[bal]

eh that was all one fish, just covered my bases with complete name...


i would say it was Aulonocara stuartgranti Ngara or Mdoka if it had more yellow or orange on its side...? is this because its young its not showing the yellow/orange as fully?

 

[mike dunagan]

A. stuargranti (Ngara) is right, not a great pic, all the good ones say the name on it... he is about 2 1/2 inches in that pic...

I can try to post one... I think you can cut it down very quickly but... To get the full name it might be hard.

ahha!....lol....yanno? my first guess would have been the ngara, cause we had owned a few....i will have to search for the photo i have of him....but he showed much more gold/yellow on the sides, so because some fish are so close, one clump of rocks to another can make a subtle color change, that i thought...nawwww maybe not....lolol....



i had one ready for ya!

and chances are ya will get this quickly too....and? we also picked him up at an auction for? 1.00 lolol

Nice Fossorochromis rostratus. 1 buck wow. My 4 incher cost 20 bucks.

I will post a shot quick.

Try getting the whole name of this ablino... I tend to get the mixed up. So lets see how you guys get it.

Plenty of pictures.

He shows a lot of orange now, but when I took that pic I just brought him home and took him out of the bag....

 

[bal]

bingo! yep...you got it ikevi!....a dollar, and that was only because no one wanted him!
he was a bit large, eight, ten inches i would guesstimate.....this shot doesnt show the color he was showing...

and here is the ngara
