I recently was given this african Cichlid The guy told me it was a johanni m. But since i already had one, and it looked nothing like the one I currently have, I didnt know what it was. its got the long body and a blue color thats similier but the tips of all of its fins are yellow and has two big yellow spots on its pectoral fin. sorry about bad quality photos hopefully someone can help.

I tried putting him in a small glass bowl just to get a picture but he just wont sit still and the only camera i have is a cell phone
 
Looks like a rather sick Melanochromis auratus to me.:(
 
doesnt look like a johanni
 
I have auratus and it really dosent look like one of them it has slight shades of blueish black and the yellow spots on the pectoral fin and on the tip of its other fins is yellow, Im tryong to get a friends camera and get some better pictures. whats the best way to get a good still shot of them?
