I used have that breed of fish. Here is a picture of my male. The females are pretty drab so easy to tell apart.
Looks female, even a sub dominant male fryeri would be showing at least some color at that size. Nothing male about that fish. I've also kept this species for many years. Good luck.
Hi thanks for all replies
I moved that fish to other tank with some small mbuna and it darken straight away. Can you guys look again.

LOL, that's hilarious. It appears that you have a male.

Actually no, you don't. You have an S. fryeri (bottom) and a hybrid on top. Looks like it has protomelus in it, but not sure what exactly it is, but not an ahli. The face/mouth is all wrong. In fact, in all my years in this hobby I have only ever once seen what I believe was S. ahli. 99% of the fish sold in this hobby as S. ahli, are farm fish, with an old school farm name attached.

Sciaenochromis ahli vs fryeri
Hey guys! As a kid growing up my favorite African Cichlid was an Electric Blue. Recently I discovered there were two different a kinds. Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2?

Well looks like I also have this hybrid. By his body shape I would say that he is a peacock but I have problem to find a completely blue aulonocara. He is about 6inch and pretty aggressive. Any chance for this one and the regular fryeri to live peaceful longterm in a 90gal?
