what do you think of the first 4 pics.. he has turned into a beauty.. and i cannot remenber where i bought him.. i am pretty sure he came from an LFS that was going out of business.. but i got about 10 little ones that day.. i am just starting to really look at them now.. :D
 
the one in the 1st 3rd and 4th is an ahli hap (im pretty sure)

looks to be something in the zebra type... have to look some more... I do not think that was a white top too big, most likely a zebra mix or zebra as well.
thanks mike... i am still looking through my books too.. i have quite a few of these guys that grew up in their own tank.. i may sell a few so need to know what they are...except i would keep if any are blue zebras.. i probably will keep AKA white top because he is really gorgeous.. pictures don't do him justice.

Its defiantly not a alhi but I'm guessing you meant Sciaenochromis fryeri, (sorry its a pet peeve of mine). It does look a lot like fryeri with the exact same colors but its head shape is different, fryeri have more of a wedge shaped head and more slender body. So it prolly is a Sciaenochromis fryeri but with a stocky body.
