I need help to identify this fish.
I've seen this fish around and it seems quite common but i don't know the name of it.
[link=Click Here]http://www.cichlidcity.com.au" style="COLOR: #00FF00[/link]For a pic. It's the fish on the top lefthand corner of the page.

Anyone knows the name of that fish?

Are you talking about the blue one on the banner? If so, it appears to be a Johhanii.

I agree, if you look in the Johanni profile, look at the other photos of it. That's my best guess.

I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!

All the other pics on the FP Johanni profile look a bit different.
Is this a certain type of Johanni?

Also Thanks for the fast replies.

Hello all

I am the webmaster of Cichlid City and i just thought i would put all your minds at ease

The fish in the banner is a Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos ( formerly known as Melanochromis maingano ).
The person ( Cackal ) that owns the fish took the photo and also created the banner for the site.

There is a profile and more photos of them on the site that he wrote.

Hope that helps :88)

Cheers Troy
