just beginning Moderator Literature Nerd Posts: 1879 Kudos: 1380 Votes: 198 Registered: 17-Dec-2000	Ah, glad we got that cleared up! The fish looks rather like an acei to me. But it's difficult to see. Got any other photos? Pseudotropheus acei: [/font] The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde

rustycage Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jul-2004	According to Ad Konings Book of Cichlids... Crocodile Rocks is located on Lake Malawi. The Cichlid you have there is actually the Copadichromis Borleyi. I have one myself. The one you have happens to come from Crocodile Rocks so I guess they are just calling it a Crocodile Rocks Cichlid.

Malawi Freak - That is closer, but still does not look like him. I don't have any other photos besides these BAD quality ones: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/CrySanctuary/black2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/CrySanctuary/fish1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/CrySanctuary/black1.jpg Top right: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/CrySanctuary/fsh.jpg Bottom left corner: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/CrySanctuary/IM000907.jpg

Here is a link to a picture of one of the species of rockfish http://www.pcouncil.org/images/juvenile_yeye.jpg [span class="edited"][Edited by Cordain 2004-07-27 09:59][/span]

AndyCLS Fish Addict Posts: 590 Kudos: 1584 Votes: 107 Registered: 13-Mar-2003	The color does look like an Acei from the picture, but the body shape looks more like a Hap. Crocodile Rocks is on Lake Malawi (not Tanganyika), and if your LFS labeled the fish correctly, it's possible that your fish could be Copadichromis borleyi "Crocodile Rocks". I think a better picture is necessary for a true ID though.

CrystalSP Hobbyist Posts: 87 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Mar-2004	Does anyone have these? I've been trying to pull up some info on them but the most I can find are results on Crocodiles, and rocks. laughs Picture: http://img31.photobucket.com/albums/v93/CrySanctuary/IM000243.jpg Got any info?

inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003	Crocodile rocks is actually a place in lake tanganyikan (if i recall). The fish is most likely of the tropheus family. Is the body plain black, or are there markings that got washed out by the picture?

CrystalSP Hobbyist Posts: 87 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Mar-2004	sigh I guess they really AREN'T well known No, no. The 'Crocodile Rocks' is the fish. Sorry. I don't know their technical name (LFS didn't give any info..again), and I can't find ANY info on them. Now I see why

z rock Small Fry Posts: 1 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jul-2004	Is that a Copadichromis "red fin" borlyii?Possibly from crocodile rocks on lake Malawi,Africa?That would be a rocky out cropping on lake Malawi where a person could be reptile food if not extremely cautious.

.cm. Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 2998 Kudos: 596 Votes: 2 Registered: 27-May-2001	I'm confused. Are we talking about a fish or actual rocks?? I was going to post the same thing... I just didn't want to be the first.

inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003	Umm yea, im pretty lost too. Are you talking about the pots? The pots are probably specially made. The gravel part looks like crushed marble... I dont think theres a fish called crocodile rocks .
