But my experience with Africans is very limited but I'm certain someone here will be able to give you a concrete answer.

sciaenochromis fryeri

 

[jhutch]

It's not a peacock. Sciaenochromis ahli or Electric Blue Hap

 

[haynchinook334]

^^^^ agreed.

 

[BarroomHero]

Electric blue is right.

 

[bowonly4life]

This fish is definantly a Sciaenochromis, but i believe it to be of the Ahli and not the Fryeri species. Good pic BTW

 

[NotoriousSway]

Its some type of Sciaenochromis Fryeri. There are many variations, depending on where in the lake it is caught.


It definitely NOT Sciaenochromis Alhi

I agree, definitely a fryeri and not an ahli, not only are ahlis very rare, but they also don't have the orange anal fin which fryeri's do.
