|

I'm looking for a yellow mbuna to go along with my hongi's. I've found a few, but going through the profile list is taking forever.
Thanks |

specify monomorphic and dimorphic
e.g.: melanchromis johanni female is I believe yellow, males aren't |

I think you may be thinking of a different species there. My male and female dems have the same colors, blue and black. |

demasoni are not yellow, almost certain, they are monomorphic and not yellow |

Pseudotropheus daktari.
Metricalima zebra Gold.
There was a Psuedo imported, as Pseudotropheus sp. "Gold something", can't recall. They were a dwarf, about the size of a saulosi, stockier though.... none around now. |

They were sold as SRT. But I'm not completely convinced that all of them are. The male seems to have a very small yellow top and the females have a bright orange red. I'll post some pics when I get home.
I am color blind so my color descriptions are off. |

| I really like the saulosi (i've been eye-balling them for a few years) but do you think the males could hold there own against hongi? |

I think the two blue barred fish in one tank would clash. _________________ 125G Calvus, Caudopunctatus, J Gombe, Brevis, Leleupi, Tret, Cyp Kerenge
