wow i know he name i just cant remember it starts with neo i think
 
after reading that link, it might not that species, the parents dont look like the one on the pics :(
but thank you i appreciate you and for sure the fish is originally from the lake tanganyika.
the parents has some kinda blue silverish body and that 2 bands changed color to some kinda blackish blue, the fins are bright yellow with bright white almost to the bluish color and has blue ring on their eyes. thats if my memory serves me right LOL

When breeding, they will kill all other fish in your tank.

i searched on that name and i am positive now its the species i have
ty:grinno:
 
It could also be a "mutt": hybrids they don't know. Many LFS will sell "African Cichlids" when they are unsure of the species, or species that are so mixed up they're not very desirable.

yes i am aware of that, thats why they dont bother with the naming no more.

Daffodil Cichlid

is the parents of the babies i have.
