Protomelas marginatus Turquoise is a rare haplochromine type fish from Lake Malawi. Males have a blue face and a turquoise body with a black vertical line dividing the body in half. Females are silver with a black line dividing the body in half. Their body usually has dull yellow on it as well. These fish are not always available in the hobby. These fish can take a long time to reach full color and are difficult to photo.  To get the best of their color, do not mix them with more aggressive fish. These fish are very slow to color. Most look like the second photo and are very slow to show full color like the main photo.

Mildly aggressive haplochromines that mixes well with most other haplochromines, peacocks, milder mbuna, and milder Lake Victorians. Occasionally they can get more aggressive than expected. 

When this one is gone, these fish will be special order only  fish
