    Metriaclima callainos

    So it's not actually wild, but it's still a nice fish.

    Cobalt Zebra What a radical fish.His colors are captured quite well with your new Oly ! Very pretty color.Does the color tone change with the mood of the fish? Or in danger to hide from predators? Curious.
    With these colors...this guy can't hide, I'll bet he is very fast. Great image Almo.

    Wow nice shot. How big is this guy? I know they can get pretty big (like 10 - 12 inches) but without anything to compare him to it's hard to tell.

    You've done a remarkable job capturing the colors and the focus is spot on regardless of the gless wall factor. One day I will learn how it is that you guys do what you do.

    Actually his colors do change with mood, and at night. He can become a very cold steel blue, almost gray, and when he is nervous or scared he can develop faint bars. He is very fast... lol, but they all are...

    This species only grows to about 5-6 inches. Slightly larger for the males than for the females. This guy is only about 4 inches.

    Thanks!

    I have all Malawians. Mostly Mbuna and Aulonocara , but I also have a few haps.

    I am also a SA Catfish freak. I have a bunch of SA Cats, from Cories to bumblebees...

    Thanks!
