Cynotilapia afra "galileo"

Got anymore pictures of these. I believe these are the same as the Cynotilapia white top 'Hara'. This species has so many names from what I've found so far.

Others are:

Cynotilapia afra 'Blue Reef'
Cynotilapia white top 'Gallireya'
and many more, a lot them a mix of the these names.

There is a lot of confusion about the true name and there are so many characteristics of them that don't match. I believe there is two different species out there that are getting mixed up.

I've seen two main differences that I believe are important, the first being the barring of the dominant males and the other being the length of the pelvic fins.
 
Ive seen white top hara used interchangably for galileo.

And Ive seen more than one species including these described as blue reef



and Red Devil it certainly is a pretty area,And its nice having my nearest neighbor more than 1/4 mile away after growing up in the burbs
