ok some quick snaps of the sp."Kyoga Flameback" from Mike and the auction.
Male from Mike
Male from Auction
couple of my Paralabidochromis chromogynos since they were looking at me.
I think you are missing my point. I am just trying to gather knowledge as to the characteristics that seperate the different species. Have you ever looked at the book "Lake Victoria Rock Cichlids" by Ole Seehausen? It will make your head spin with all the different species and how some can have both normal coloration and pied variants. I am looking for distinct aspects that are repeatable in each species. I would like to know the criteria that you or anyone else that has ID'd your fish is using to make that decision.

OMG, I don't understand. He mislists them as fulus and a second later they are kyoga flamebacks. How can you be so sure? What has the other sites said about their ID?

Nice photos. The male from Mike is amazing. Do you have females with him? I've always wanted a group of chromogynos, but haven't been able to see some for sale, except at Dave's. Can you give me links of the other forums you posted my pics on though?
HCCC and Cichlidae.com are the only 2. I was hoping samaki would chime in on cichlidae but nothing yet. I noticed that you left out Greg's opinion when you were quoting responses....... Filtering data? Read the new post on cichlidae.com......
I have 2 from Mike that were thought to be females but I saw a lot of eggspots on one of them with a little more color. I think I got shots of them but I have to xfer it from my laptop when I go on break. I got the chromogynos from Dave.

There is no way that mine are haplochromis tomato. The tomato are way too rare in the hobby and the descriptions just don't match. He posted a new one, saying that they maybe are kyoga flamebacks.
On cichlidae.com, all there is a guy posting that they are the red back scraper. As he said red back scrapers don't have the green color.
Do you have any male chromogynos?
Ok here are some pics just to let people out there to see what their opinion is.
Here are my photos.
Here are pics of a guy's Kyoga Flamebacks on a different forum.
Please feel free to compare them, are they similar or what? You guys tell me.
