Madagascar Fish

Finally visited the Bronx Zoo for the first time yesterday and while I loved the world class exhibits, I found that their ID cards were sometimes lacking, and other times nonexistent. These fish were in the Madagascar building and only labeled “rare Madagascar fish” or something along those lines.

I also remember seeing in this building a tomato frog and some species of (I think) killifish, both of which had no ID cards or any signage at all!

Yeah the lack of signage for their Madagascar fish is bizarre and frustrating. The killifish should be Pachypanchax sakaramyi and these should be Paratilapia bleekeri.

The cichlids in your photo are Marakely (Paratilapia polleni). Beautiful fish

@Casuarius_casuarius Paratilapia bleekeri, which is either conspecific with polleni or its own species depending on your taxonomic views.
