sorry PP i am not the greates at common names
 
There is a fish called Sciaenochromis ahli, but its very uncommon in stores. The fish that are typically labelled as ahli are actually Sciaenochromis fryeri, a very common electric blue fish that shouldn't be hard to find at all :)

:ROFL:, you can't hate africans THAT bad
 
Electric Blue/Electric Blue Ahli/Haplochromis ahli/S. fryeri is one of the top 10 most common Malawian fish found in most large chain stores and lfs that carry any africans. The true S. ahli is rare to find even through the larger importers in the country. Varieties such as "Iceberg" or any wild-caughts will cost a decent penny. This species has been bred out in "mutts" now that it is usually not expensive. When I use the term "mutts" I don't mean hybrids just that the coloration is usually not that impressive due to inbreeding/poor breeding programs. Most people still find even "low quality" electric blues still impressive and rightly so.
