Oh no way, LOL he was a hider. I had the tank set up for south american fry. I had around 45 of them left in the tank. I desided to turn it into a African tank and cleaned out all the plants and wood. I thought I got all the other fish out of there. I set the tank up with the rocks and a couple peice of drift wood. Then I went and ordered my new fish and when they came in added them to the tank. shortly after adding them to the tank. I found 3 of the Laetacara dorsiger still in the tank. I've been trying for 4 days to get them out of the tank, I've gotten one out. I figured I'd give them a week or so to adjust before i took the tank about and got them out of the tank. The last thing I want is to stress them out more. LOL but yea I know that they have to come out.
Identify these two fish?

Well, hell, if you have any trouble getting any off your hands let me know. I'd love to have some dorsiger again. 
yeah all those major petstores neverf know what they got i guess its just easier to sell everything as a ass., african right
The first pic is most definitely a Melanochromis auratus. It has been rather interesting reading what people think the blue fish is. I believe you all have it wrong. This fish is most definitely not a joanjohnsonae!
I have them and my male does not look anything like that fish.
I would say the fish in question is of the Pseudotropheus species, more than likely one of the "elongatus" sub species.
Aulonocara, waht a laugh!!!!!!
