That is definitely a melanochromis johanni! The Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos look more like an Auratus, with the same coloring as a Johanni and are commonly miss labeled at every pet store I've seen.

In the pics I've seen I didn't notice any verticle dark blue bars. Also when I bought him at about 1.5" long he was already blue. I was told they are yellow at first? The tips of his dorsal and tail fin are turning yellow though. Thanks for the info!

You could've been talking about the Interruptus. So you're saying my fish is a hybrid?

johannii and maingano/cyaneorhabdos are two different species.
I misread what you wrote. No reason to be a douche bag about it.

I asked if it was a hybrid(not something else) then a maingano...so once. Anyway...thanks for the info regardless.

that is a hybrid that comes out of Asia as a Electric Blue Johanni. It is a cross I believe with a Likoma Island Elongatus and a Johanni or maingano
yes 100%, no way even come close to a Interruptus or any other type of Melanochromis What you got is a cross I seen them come out of Asia by the thousands as Electric Blue Johani . A Electric Blue Johanni is a Melanochromis Cyaneorhabdos aka "maingano"
No you got a hybrid How many times you got to be told the same thing, you got a Asian Hybrid that is called a Electric blue Johanni but it is not . It is a Hybrid . 100% I seen your fish come out of Asia by the Thousands !!!!
Sorry for the bad news just except it you got a mutt
