PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004	Metriaclima lombardoi (kenyi) are not the same as cobalt blue. [link=Lombardoi images]http:// www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=798[/link] Here you can see a few images of lombardoi's. Mature males turn into a yellow/orange colour while females stay the blue colour. Lomardois are pretty aggressive fish so I recommend nothing smaller than a 75g. And only keep one male per tank, unless it's a big tank. Cobalt blue more Cobalt blue Last edited by PJ at 08-Jul-2005 23:54

They can be a mixture of different african fish. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
