Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos

''Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos'' is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it is only known from around Likoma Island where it prefers rocky substrates at depths of from 5 to 10 metres . This species can grow to a length of 7.5 centimetres SL. Also known as Maingano, this mbuna is often confused with ''P. johannii''. One important distinguishing characteristic is that females are not orange, whereas female ''P. johanii'' are. Both male & female ''P. cyanerhabdos'' are colored the same; however, males may have more intense coloring, particularly in dominant or sexually active males. Another key distinguishing feature of ''P. cyaneorhabdos'' from ''P. johannii'' is the lack of vertical stripes.
