Question

Purple C I have found a picture of a purple cichlid on a website, here is the address, scotthowe.info/photos/fish/index.html, and I was wondering if you would be able to tell me the scientific name of this fish so that I can get my local pet shop to see if they can order one in for me? This is the heading that the picture is under on the website, Gator & Muffin, Metriaclima sp. - OB Blueberry Zebra. There are two fish in the pictures and I am unsure which name belongs to which fish. I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance
Rachelle

Answer
Hi Rachelle,
The fish is purple in the picture because of the color of the photograph, not the color of the fish. The fish is a Metriaclima species OB blueberry zebra, but they are typically blue, not purple.
