This fish caught my attention at my LFS, but it didnt have a label so I asked and they said it is a Obliquiden. I bought it and then looked it up online and it doesn't look like any Obliquiden pictures. It usually shows good dark colors, but had a hard time capturing it, heh.

Been looking on african-cichlid.com under the Victorian part and it looks like what they call Pundamilia sp. "Red Flank", but also like the Christmas Fulu they have pictured.

 

[skud24]

Anyone have any guesses? I want to go to a LFS and have them order more of these guys, but don't know what to say they are.

hmmm.. well it isnt fulu for sure, and i dont think its red flank either, red flank has the blue on the top

Pundamalia nyererei.

 

[Mikehcfc]

Was going to say sp44.Not a victorian expert by any means

 

[1974Pantera]

It is definitely NOT a Sp.44. and NOT a Nyererei. My guess is that it is a hybrid. I'm in Northern Ca. too.....what's the name of the LFS that you saw it at?

I got it at Tropical Haven in Modesto. They had a few more left today with pink on the top of their heads, but duller in color.
