Any idea what lake from - I've got some almost pure white malawi
cichlids (slight hint of pink) that had its eyes been pink would
almost definitely be called albino, they are still small (about 3cm)
so many not be showing final colour yet

I've got their details somwhere but they are one of the zebras

This could be a pseudotropheus socolofi "snowflake" (or may now be called
metriaclima socolofi "snowflake"). The normal pseudotropheus socolofi is a
bright blue. The snowflake is snow white.

I used to have the normal and snowflake variants. The snowflakes passed on.
One was very territorial and "owned" the right side of the tank, probably a
male.
