Please help me indentify this cichlid - 2010/01/27 16:08 I picked up this cichlid at a LPS, they did not know what specie it is. I really liked it, neat color, almost a lavendar with some light blue and it can reveal it's bars and stripes which are black, or hide them. It has blue fins with black and a yellowish orange on the very tips of the dorsal fin. I have him with my other mbuna cichlids and gets along with them very well. I can't seem to find what specie it is.

Thanks

Re:Please help me indentify this cichlid - 2010/02/19 21:53 i have been keeping ciclids of all kinds for about 10 years & from the the looks of this fish i say that this is an aratus ciclid that has been changed too many settings & he hasn't had a chance to adapt to his own territory
