Hi,

First of all, taking pictures of fish is the most stressful thing in the world!
by the time the camera has decided to take the pic, the fish is laughing at you from the other side of the tank :lol:

anyway, here is pic #1

i have no idea what this fish is, not sure if its a johanni or what...

here is pic # 2

Is this Maylandia Callainos??? looks blue here, but in the tank has a purple tint

they are also in this pic which i believe is also Maylandia estherae & labeotropheus caraelus.

pic #3

thanks,

so #1 is definitly a johanni, some people say that because it hasnt got horizontal bars it's not :S it does go very dark underneath the bottom of the body and lower face.
 
on my pc he does. do you have another pic of him? there are two strains of johanni. he looks like the maingano strain
 
the only other photos i have him/her on are these.....

pic #1 - sorry about the flash!!

pic #4

johanni_2.jpg


and #5

johanni_3.jpg
 
the first pic is of an electric blue

a johanni will keep his bands even when he is full grown
will be a bright blue stiped in between broad black stripes

the second looks to be a powder blue zebra
 
Doesn't look at all like a johanni to me....actually doesn't look like anything particular at all to me...maybe a really long run hybrid. -_-
