Close! It's Brichardi complex, but not Daffodil or Pulcher.

That picture is of a Pulcher and specifically a daffodil. The yellow and the blue in the fins and the purple V on the gills. Brichardi are not nearly as yellow and more cream color and they don't have a purple V on the Gill plate. Brichardi have more blue on the Gill plate with two separate black or dark brown bars one verticle on the Gill plate and the other closer to the eye more horizontal but no V

It's a Neolamprologus Helianthus aka sunflower. Pulchers have whitish bodies, not speckly yellow ones. There are other differences as well.
I guess you can post the next one.

Your right that is for sure Helianthus and not Pulcher. But before you said brichardi and I knew it wasnt that. I have seen some yellow Pulcher but Helianthus have more yellow and a very pronounces V on their Gill plate. Well I guess that ends this thread. I guessed wrong but you gave up the answer and now no one can guess anymore...lmao

That was gonna be my guess, but I wasn't sure. I was just thinking of picking up a few of them.

Sorry, by Brichardi comolex I meant looks like Brichardi, breeds like Brichardi, is a Neolamp, and not a Brichardi.
