No sir. The entire Synspilum family has been added into Melanurus. When it comes to color, there are numerous color variants of the fish...including that yellow.

And another interesting thread by WIllem Heijns on the various color variation: http://www.cichlidae.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7361&p=42065&hilit=melanurus#p42065 This post is much older and way before the name was changed..but it does sow an interesting variety of the fish.

So what you're saying is Synsilum no longer exists and they are all officially now refered to as melanurus?
wow! I just bought a 3" syn a week ago and I would love for mine to turn out like that. He's looking great.

Ive got 3 of these lil guys as juvies. Right now they are only about 2 to 2.5 inches long. Hope I end up with a good looking male like that.
Any idea on how fast of a grower they are and roughly size and age they color change?
