Hey guys

Finally got a few pics in the gallery.....not very good ones, but had a couple id questions.

1. The one that says Female P. Saulosi.....is it really?? I have searched and searched and I cannot find a pic of this fish...all the female saulosis Ive seen arent as colorful as this one. The male, which I no longer have, looked pretty close to what the pics of the males look like, but this female looks so different. They did spawn once before the male died, and the fry look identical to what pics Ive seen, but I still wonder a bit. Thanks for any help

2.Also, the picture of the peacocks....the one in front, any ideas on what kind this is?

No it is definitely not a female saulosi. Here are mine:

I believe that your auratus ID is wrong as well. Looks like a female Melanochromis chipokae to me. (Thicker black stripes, pointier mouth and no white in the stripe.) They do look a lot alike though.

Thanks StructureGuy, I changed the names in the gallery.....of course the one that was sold to me as P. Saulosi is now "Mystery Female"....wish I knew what she was! The male looked almost like a Saulosi male, but more purplish than blue ....and the stripes were thinner. Oh well, who knows, whatever she is, she's cool...."Queen" of the tank! :) I guess when the fry begin to mature I can post pics of a male so hopefully I can figure out what they are.

the fish behind the peacock looks like it could be a lethrinops species.
