I purchased a pair of what my LFS called mocotto cichilds. I've come up empty in chilid books and on the net. They have a color pattern silimiar to a livingstoni but samller, more compressed and have brilliant red on all of the fins. I'm out of town or I'd post a pic.

Look up a Placidochromis milomo, tell me what you think.

or check out Nimbochromis Fuscotaeniatus

Thanks for the input. It might be a placidochromis milomo. They do resemble it, but they are juveniles as yet. I'll post a pic when I get home, maybe that will help

I have an adult nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus. I don't think that's what these are. If anyone knows of a link to pics of juveniles fish of these types, that might help. Thanks

This was my baby milomo when I first got it, about 1" big here. Its now about 3" and has much more red in it.

Your welcome. Hope you have a HUGE tank to house it in when it grows up!
