Can anyone ID this fish?
Two pictures of a pseudotropheus on a website I found. As far as I
know, the colors are accurate. Is this an available strain, or just a lucky hybrid? http://www.pbase.com/image/18329284 http://www.pbase.com/image/15585361

Age, sex, and which side of the rock pile they came from all can affect the external characteristics. Many fish can only be done by visual inspection after dissection. But then, I am not a Rift Lake cichlid fan so providing any ID on most of them would be an educated guess at best on my part. Jim
