[Ash]

Thanks, happy new year to you 2... a dayish early =) I have no clue I am not sure what picture we are even guessing anymore, would anyone care to repost a better pic or start up a new one??

the fish on page one is a Malawi, Haplochromines Copadichromis?????? maybe kinda?!?!? am I close? Aulonocara??? If not I'll go with blue fishy with a red mohawk.

I picked these guys up under a mistaken name so I had to look them up. they are cool though, strange swimming patterns.

Well, I suck at Africans but how about Stigmatachromis pleurospilus?

Man, I hate getting old!!! I used to be huge into African's, particularly Tanganyikans back when I was in high school. I recognized this fish as soon as I saw it. But I could not think of the name for the life of me. But after searching through all of my ref books, I found it. It is:

Neolamprologus furcifer

i looked this guy up and it says neolamporologus fasciatus is that the same thing, correct me if thats a dumb question.

 

[blacktip]

Nope, not the same thing. Neolamprologus fasciatus has much more prominent banding and lacks the lyre tail of the furcifer. It also lacks the yellow highlights of the furcifer.
