Hi guys
Can you please, have a look on my 6in electric blue and answer simple question. What is that fish.
It has scianochromis fryeri colors but aulonocara body shape. A lot will say its "ahli" but even on this forum I've read that trua Ahli not really existing in hooby.
I've found some info from "RD" about sciano/aulonocara hybrids and I think this fish it could be it.
Some websites also calling fully blue aulonocara - nyssea but on cichlid-forum I cant find that species.
Thats why I am a little bit confused, can you help me and name that fish?

I posted a pic of one of my male fryeri from years ago, along with pics of some wild S. fryeri, along with pics of some S. ahli, in the following past discussion on this species.

Sciaenochromis ahli vs fryeri

Hey guys! As a kid growing up my favorite African Cichlid was an Electric Blue. Recently I discovered there were two different a kinds. Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2?

I have a hybrid Electric Blue Hap, very similar to yours. Here's a pic of my legitimate Electric Blue and the hybrid. Evidently the Electric Blue hybrid has become standardized in the hobby.

I also have regular scianochromis with my electric blue but he is only about 4.5in and not much color. Are yours live peacfully? Iam wonder if my sciano will ever color up wth another bigger electric blue around?
 
The Fryeri and the hybrid Electric Blue get along fine. Both are pretty low on the stock list strength chart. Neither had a chance to be dominant.
