GeeTee Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Was in the lfs and they had a cichlid labeled Nangrona.I have googled this name and come up with nothing. Can anyone help,maybe the spelling is wrong or something,I need to look into this fish to see if it is compatible for my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRSkz Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 It wouldn't happen to be this fish would it? http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... php?id=835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 No it wasn't an Acei. The fish that was pointed out to me with this name looked like a Johannii Maybe the assistant was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hmm, colours, stripes??? Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos or common name Maingano, it looks like a Johannii in a way & are in Australia Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTee Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 That could be the one Frenchy. The one in the shop was a brighter blue but that could be the individual fish. Just had a look at a profile on it and there were some more colourful there so I'm thinking thats the fish for sure. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I can pick these up off a local breeder for $5 each at 3-5cm. Very high quality too. Retail for around $10-$15each in the shops. The picture I believe is off a wild caught one. As u said about the brightness, that is usually the case too, with the ones that you see around here in Aussie.

GeeTee Posted June 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Are they very aggressive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Not bad for a mbuna. Not as bad as most, but of course will have enough Kahunas to stand up for itself. Whats the plan? just one for a display or buy multiples for breeding? Either way should be great, but if for a display remember to try & mix & match colours with mbunas, eg; a johannii & maingano will probably fight.

GeeTee Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 There was only one fish in the shop at the time,so would have to check as to numbers available I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
