African ID

[Blue2Fyre]

I actually know the answer but I'm curious if others can figure it out.

Pseudotropheus socolofi would be my first guess but more pics wouldnt hurt since it looks like there is a little yellow in his fins but that might be the light.

 

[Blue2Fyre]

Aww no one else wants to play?

 

[Pandamania]

Would like to know the size, please?

 

[Pandamania]

It might help if I could see the whole tail too! That's not fair!

Considering you've got an 80gl mbuna tank, maybe it's a type of Mbuna?No, there's a spot on its side....Throwing this out there....a very pale Mouthbrooder, or Red Jewel? Golden Mojarra? Dunno!, ran out of ideas! More photos please?

Unusual mouth for an mbuna... Tropheops?

And the fish is...... a male Ps Saluosi He's colored down due to a more dominant fish in the tank.

It just goes to show when IDing malawis how much a colored down fish can throw off an ID. Just a thought.

good I was not seeing things, there was a little yellow in the fins.

Is it true that holding females will sometimes show blue coloration? I read somewhere that they will to scare off potential egg robbers, but haven't ever seen it.
