Just put it into a New Reply. It'll give you the option so you don't have to start another thread. I'll blend these two together. The fish on the right looks like some sort of Victorian.

The top guy looks like a Ps. Kingsizei to me in young male color, or a Cynotilapia Afra White top. I'm not positive they are pure or anything. They should be a nice looking fish though. :ok:

I have Ps. Kingsizei, here are some pictures of mine to compare. White top Afra look almost exactly the same, so it will be hard to get a definate ID unless you ask who you got them from.. if they know.

a smaller male with dominant color

They don't call these guys King Size for nothing. :rofl: Small body, but big attitude.

yeah - that first one could be a kingsizei... but like everyone has said, it could be a couple of other things as well... or a couple of other things at the same time. :)

woot - yours have attitude? mine is pretty mellow. it's the gold morph. he's not aggressive, but at the same time, no one ever, ever, ever picks on him. then again, he's also getting pretty old, so he could just be relaxed in his old age.

as for the rest, like jonah, beyond recognizing them as some sort of Aulonocara, I must confess nearly complete ignorance on those species.

The adult Kingsizei I picked up from the guy I bought my 75 from, he was alittle terror when the tank was lightly stocked. Kenyi type mean, but I stuck my big group of Acei in there and now hes settled down. A buddy has the Lipingu (Gold Kingsizei) and they do seem to be less aggressive then the Blue frost.

Lipingu... I never ever remember that... Lipingu... Lipingu... I am going to remember that... :)
