It looks like it's a variant of Labidochromis caeruleus, possibly a Lundo Island 'Nakali'

Looks like some type of pseudotropheus elongatus.

 

[malcolm1]

looks like a
[h=1]Pseudotropheus Socolofi[/h]

 

[wrslrcichlid]

I second the pseudotropheus elongatus. Socolofi's shouldn't have heavy vertical barring like this, and body shape isn't right for labidochromis. Also, it looks almost the exact same as the elongatus profile on cichlid-forum.com

 

[wesboreham]

Just had a look on cichlid-forum and I think your exactly right, I will go on the theory its a Pseudotropheus Elongatus and get some females asap.....

Thanks for your thoughts its much appreciated

wes

Trying to attach a collection location to an unidentified fish is practically impossible.
