Aulonocara Nyasa?

[mike dunagan]

Anyone heard of this fish. I am thinking he meant Nyassa, which was the first type of peacock shipped from Malawi. Sometimes called Icy blue peacock.

I got a pair label as the title say, albino. I am going to call the seller for more information, but wanted to know what your opinions are.

Post some pics of your guys. Give everyone something to compare to.

It's hard to say without pictures.

Without a collection location IDing peacocks is a crapshoot...

I have to take some, and then get them up. However they are albino, so you can take a guess as to what they look like. LOL

Also I was asking if anyone knew anything about the name I have given. I know without pictures it is hard to ID a fish. I have given the name on the bag. I was wondering if anyone has heard of them before, or use that term. I know that Nyassa was the name of Lake Malawi a while back. I was wondering if anyone had more information on the this fish.

If that makes more sense.

the reason I asked for pics is that I don't remember them looking similar in shape to the pics I've seen on the internet.

Tada! Apparently the name does mean something. There's not a lot of information in the article, but at least its something.

Its weird, it looks like there are two species called Aulonocara Nyassae, I'm guess one is just mislabeled but people still call it that.

There is the blue one:
