[portsmouthjoe]

thanks alot thomasp9021 yep illd pretty much say thats the fella had a look imagines of google and loads come up matching him

 

[portsmouthjoe]

hey thomasp9021 done some more research its a Maylandia greshakei

 

[kj23502]

I don't think it's a greshakei

 

[kj23502]

i think juvie greshakei's have more red/orange top fin and tail fin. Yours has yellow fins.

 

[portsmouthjoe]

yeah mines a yellow kj23502

 

[zebra]

looks like a youn mpanga of some variant thats a pseudotropheaus species regards

Also keep in mind that most "Mixed African Tanks" are around 90% hybrids, so you many not get a difinative id.

 

[kj23502]

Yep, I'd like to add that I usually NEVER buy from mixed tanks for that reason.
