shes showing some stress colors cause i just took all the rock out of their tank

thats what i thought when i bought it, it tricked me too, but im 100% pos its not socolofi though cause i actualy have socolofi in the same tank and although there stress lines are similar there nothing alike, ive havent seen any mbuna like it thats why i was thinking shes some sort of hap

Yeah, I think you right. It didn't think of it because I don't see a black stripe in its fins.

it looks like a johanni mix imo

 

[mahemaheman85]

anyone else?

 

[mike dunagan]

melanochromis it looks like. Now on which one, I have trouble telling. How big is he? Has he always been this color?

 

[mahemaheman85]

i think its a she, shes about 4 inches and yes has always been bright metallic blue, the stress line come and go depending on what going on in the tank

heres a few unstressed pics, i even managed to get her and a socolofi in the 2nd one

hopefully these help
