im talking about aulonocara maylandi and otopharynx lithobates. What is the difference in appearance between the two.

 

[joe jaskot]

The maylandia is a peacock while the otopharynx is a haplochromine. Their colors are similar, but body shape is different. The otopharynx can grow to a larger size. Check out their profiles: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=653 http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1191

Ok thanks. I'm sure mine is a maylandi sense it has bars and not spots or solid blue color.
