Hello everyone

I was wondering if anyone had any pictures on this fish I have been told it's very pretty but I can't seem to find anything on the net about it. Is it a real victorian? or is it a hybred of some sort?
And is it hard to come by?

Thanks Jennifer

hi we don't have lots of infos on it, no locality origin( wether it's a lake victoria species or a satellitte lake species), we don't know what he eat and how he eat.It seems that some have been sold in USA but none of them exist in Europe.

There was a fish in the bowl show at the Ohio Cichlid Extravaganza this past fall that was labeled Haplochromis "purple princess". It really wasn't all that great looking and I didn't notice anything purple about it at all. It very well might not be the same fish that we are discussing here. The info I was given is that it is a riverine cichlid.
