I bought this guy when he was a baby along with another fish of the same ugly yellow color. He changed but the other did not. The other fish is still yellow with grey bars like the males black bars that break up the blue color.

Any help would be welcomed!
Thanks for looking,
Momma

the other one is most likely a female.
ID is 100% correct. The thing that I find rather disturbing is this fish being labeled with an incorrect common name. HUH:cry: :screwy: The only real true "Electric blue" is the Scianochromis fryeri. Please refrain from calling anything blue an electric blue.:nilly:
:naughty: :drool: :ROFL: :headbang2 :nilly:
 
Thanks to you all! He does not seem to have a real bad attitude, yet? I think the meanest fish I've had was auratus....that is the fish I threw into the Jag tank and he was only 2 inches long and kept his own with the 8-9 Jags. LOL

But thanks alot...now that I'm looking at my books it makes better sense! Thanks for the pic too!
