Hello all im kinda new to this forum been wanting to post pics of my fish for awhile so here goes have a stab at these 2 fish... my tank stock list is :

1M/3F Greshakei
7 juvie Elongatus "Chailosi"
and 5 unidentifed which is what im hoping u all can help me out with...

The first series of pics is of 2 fish i got from a mixed mbuna tank... they were in with yellow labs and electic blues... they were the only fish in the tank that looked like zebras and were very small when i got them.... maybe 1 1/2"... i bought them because they looked like baby grehakei and i wanted to diversify my lines...but now they they have grown up and i have no idea what they are... they grew to 4" very fast and have outgrown the greshakei in a matter of a month... the grehakei were over an inch bigger than them when introduced... this is the one i believe to be a male...

I hope I can ID the fish for you. The first set of photo's look to me to be something pretty similar to a species I have, namely, Metriaclima sp. "zebra yellow chin". Does the male have a small patch of ellow under his lower jaw?
The second set of pics look to me as though the fish are Pseudotropheus sp. "elongatus ornatus".
My original yellow chin male also greww extremely quickly and the baby males, from the fry, out grew many other fry that were even two months older than them. If it is this fish then watch as the male matures and see the amazing colouring that he will show you. An absolutely outstanding fish to have in a tank.:naughty: :ROFL: :headbang2 :nilly:
