Melanochromis Maingano 10cm
Product Description
Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos is a species of fish in the Cichlidae family. It is endemic to Malawi. Its natural habitat is freshwater lakes. Since it is an endemic species, there is not very much information available, except that posted below by owners. There are thoughts that this species is a hybrid of Pseudotropheus demasoni.
Also known as Maingano, this mbuna is often confused with M. johanni. One important distinguishing characteristic is that females are not orange, whereas female M. johanii are. Both male & female M. cyanerhabdos are colored the same; however, males may have more intense coloring, particularly in dominant or sexually active males.
