This is a group shot but take a look at the yellow/gold on the ptychochromis!

Close up shot of a P. kieneri

Better close up of the same P. Kieneri. The calico pattern on this fish is like no other cichlid I have ever come across.

These last two shots are of my favorite Madagascan cichlid to date. These fish are called lamena or nourissati cichlids after Jean-Claude Nourissate. This fish is possibly endangered if not extinct in the wild. This fish rivals the reds, yellows and oranges presented by festae, midas and many other cichlids. I consider this fish a true gem to keep.
