Nice looking Fish and good Pic. nice phone.
Sciaenochromis Fryeri"Iceberg" actually.
The common(mistaken) name in pet stores is the Ahli, but these are no longer available to the Public. they banned the taking of the Ahli many years ago.It is extremely rare to find Ahli available and then only from a few Private breeders.. Some guy in Texas has some(from what I read) and sells some every few years but not very many..

ohh ty so much lee!

where did you hear that Lee ?

this is a S. Fryeri but this isn't an iceberg either .the blaze goes all the way down to the lip & the over all color is a lighter blue like "ice" .http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1333....

Beautiful fryeri. Awesome color.

Oh ok..Thanks:)

yes i agree on the ice burg thing those you can tell the dif there blaze is incredible and are quite rare as far a tellin the dif between an ahli and fryeri good luck,,,pretty fish

male

How can u tell?..I want to breed them.

The guy at the store said he was some type of peacock..

it can be confusing in this case visually sometimes called a peacock,technically a haplochromis species if that makes sence

SOo its not a fryeri?

It is a fryeri Katrina. Haplochromines is a broad term origanally used to describe the free (open water) swimming in lake Malawi that are not Mbuna. All peacocks are Haplochromines, but not all Haplochromines are peacocks. The fryeri isn't a peacock, but can be referred to as a Haplochromine.

Thanks Dane!

Thanks tony.

Katrina, if you look back through my pics. i have pics of the females with my male.

beautiful blue on this guy!

Anyone know any pet shops in nj thats selling these?*females*?

do they have petland in nj? we have lots in ny, they usually are always stocked with female fryeri...

Yeah theres petland in nj.....Its in hackensack

im wondering...If hes really dark blue..Does that mean hes dominant

Does anyone have a green venustus?If so..WHy did mine rip out one of my cichlids eye..I Felt so mad!

Whys he bullying my other fish?anyone know..He chases them so much.

What fish do fryeris make hybrids with..Just wondering.

That would be interesting to know- could pass on some awesome color! I've have 3 little babies in my grow out tank. The waiting is the hardest part!

It takes long:(....Awwww.......

Great expectations from fry....At first at the store i thought this was an elongatus. So i said give me that elongatus..Turns out its a Fryeri..

No- mine are a little different- will be super, duper electric blue without the blaze. Cant wait- their dad is Rogers Blue Freyeri. He's awesome!

Cool! I totally need more of this species..I find them absolutely beautiful

Ok. I'm having an argument with myself- don't mind me!! Mine *will* have the blaze. When you and I get going well with them in the future, maybe we can trade breeding stock females so we don't inbreed too much. I'm WAY behind you, though. Yours is ready, mine are the size of a fingernail ;)

Nice. Pssss, I own a Ahli from a "private" breeder lol. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/iamzrad/3630303841/in/set-72157608799049799/)

Katrina Fryeri's will spawn with most malawi fish.. They are are called malawi playboys.
