#4 Ice blue if its big its a female if smaller could be young male seems to be quite bright red but maybe pic..

thanks

1 and 2 that is what i thought

3 i was thinking blue zebra or electric blue

4 had no idea 80mm long

is this a male

and whats this one looks different to number 3 or is it the same.

Thanks for all the help

Top fish in top pic is a male ice blue. Would say your other one is a girl, they can get agro so watch your other fish, however you pretty much only have mbuna so they should be sweet.

Second pic could be cobalt blue, but could also be a zebra cross with cobalt in it.. Its shape looks a bit different but it could be the pic.

cool thanks ive 3 males 2 female ice blue zebras then.

they are in a 180L tank at the moment but in 5 or 6 weeks when my new fishroom is done they will be in a 600L tank

Whats the scientific name of these fish, especially the ice blue one as it may be easier to rule out by researching cichlid forum?

Thanks

PS: is it possible that any are crossed at all as I know mbuna will breed with anything even Dimidiochromis.

ice blues are metriaclima greshakei

man i want those red zebs, they are really nice fish

thnaks everyone i now have 9 red zebras

red zebs are common as mud? I used to breed heaps of them but got rid of the breeders and only have 6 of the best of their young to grow out and breed from again

No. 3 looks like a kenyi female , same shape as the male. I'm 99% sure it's a female.

Then again, hard to tell, second last picture looks more like it than no 3. Flash in no 3 bright and looks more like blue zebra. Look at whose hanging out with whom and you should work it out.

A kenyi female with no barring on it?

Have a look through the pics here

My pick was these guys

My large kenyi female has no barring unless they spawning. I see what you mean though. If you look at the spot on the gill plate, it is darker on the kenyi and blue on the cobalts. I'm not saying your wrong or I'm right, it is hard to judge from the pic.
