What are these?

I saw these in the display tank at That Fish Place. They look like a Cynotilapia to me but not sure. the body looked more like elongatus.

Well,there are a lot of Ps.elongatus types with the yellow accents in there fins but I am leaning towards the 'Higga Reef' variety,as pictured in Konings 4th edition,pg 67.
I'm also thinking (my first thoughts) that they might be Chewere elongatus,and maybe they are but not fully developed in color.
This could be argued a few different ways though,,,I guess no one there new what they were?

Cheers,Larry

I was gonna guess Ps. elongatus Chewere simply on the fact they seem to be one of the more common species of Ps. elongatus-type that I have come across that look similar to those.

I was going to guess that type too.

They are a Malawi fish therefore they must be a hybrid. Maybe they are Cynotilapia blue anni? :)

They are a Malawi fish therfore they must be a hybrid. Maybe they are Cynotilapia blue anni? :)

Shame on you for pickin' on my beloved dogs.....:shocked:

LMAO!!

My 2 Cents - Chewere males that are not fully developed. The other species that Larry brought up aren't that widespread here in the States.

I think im goin to agree with you fellas elongatus chewere but they could be mixed with another elongatus and they are not wild thats for shore!

[YoungAquaticPhotos]

I tend to agree too! I found a pic on Dave's rare Fish of what he had listed as
Metriaclima sp. elongatus chewere:

Peter will have to fight off a few of us if he has these on Feb 28th.

It is well known that I am no African Lakes guy. But IMHO they are Chromeolapsiscynofishis sp blueyellowspotis "lakeis". There Alishan :D now we're even.
