Pelvicachromis humilis ?

Postby Gudmundur » Wed Nov 18, 2009 2:19 pm

I recently got these fish and they look like Pelvicachromis humilis to me but i did not find any pic of them with the same face marks so i was wondering if they are somethig else ?

I did not have tank ready for them so they are sharing tank for the moment with J.marlieri
so far so good but they are shy and will soon get better tank

I'd lean more towards Pelvicachromis rubrolabiatus.

I would concur with rubrolabiatus. The blue facial stripes on the male, his reddish color and the yellow on the female are distinctive features.
