ID my cichlid

[Golfnut]

Can anyone help me ID my baby cichlid? They are about 1 inch long now.

My baby cichlids, they're growing now, but I still don't have a postive ID.

it's a pseudotropheus for sure. but the problem with species identification, there are lots that look alike, as you've found out. And sometimes you need to wait till they're mature and have their final coloration to know for sure. Especially ones that look like that. Others are a bit easier. Could be a zebra morph, I don't think it's an elongotus due to it's fat short body. They're pretty skinny long bodied fish. Where did you get them? was it in a "asst african" batch of fish? There are a fair number of those fish that come through that are just muts. A lot of times those fish are just kept in outdoor ponds and left to breed freely and you don't always get genetically pure fish.

Pseudotropheus Minutus (and yours seems to be a very young male) If it is what I think it is any how!!!

None of the three you mentioned above. saulosi juveniles are yellow with the males turning blue at a later stage. Looks to me like a mongrel but could be a juvenile lombardoi. All blue with the male turning yellow when mature.

That's not even close to being a lombardoi. Or a saulosi. Body shape is way wrong.

A Pseudotropheus for sure.

It looks like it could be an Electric Blue African Cichlid (Sciaenochromis ahli)

just my two cents.

Well....both socolofi and that species of elongatus are very common. Im leaning towards the former.

Check out that body shape...that is definitely a Mbuna, not a hap or a peacock. I'd say Pseudotropheus too...I guess you'll just have to give it a bit more time to see how it colours up, then try for an ID again.
