Comments:
This mbuna is often confused with P. johannii. One important distinguishing characteristic is that females are not orange, whereas female P. johannii are. Both male and female P. cyaneorhabdos are colored the same; however, males may have more intense coloring, particularly dominant or sexually active males.
