LOL! Go back to the store, get a refund, and then never set foot in that store again.turbos73 said:Can anyone tell me what kind of fish this is? https://flic.kr/p/5332522367 I asked for a Malawi blue dolphin cichlid and this is what they gave me.
Actually, that family of fish are often referred to as "dolphin fish" because of their visual similarities to aquatic mammals... So the store isn't exactly in the wrong; however, all I could find on them is that they're native to Uganda, so they might not be Malawian.Kanorin said:LOL!

Thank you to all who replied. I found out the answer shortly after I posted question, but I do appreciate the responses.
No worries its a cool fish. Dunno are you going to keep it? No idea how you keep these guys myself. Guess big peaceful set up (heard of folk keeping em with big knifefish) but just a guess.turbos73 said:Thank you to all who replied.
