Bump. I will contribute more pics once my africans get bigger/older. I recently picked up two kyoga flamebacks, 2 christmas fulu, 1 white top hara, 1 frontosa, 1 eureka red, and 1 z rock. All juveniles and less than 2", hoping most are males!

Ok, Correct me if I'm wrong... I've seen several fish posted resembling this on this thread so not trying to pick on this fish owner:



I think that is a hybrid, I think it has electra in its past. Not a horrible cross but still a cross if my assumptions are correct. I don't think its pure placidochromis phenochilus tanzania.

Mine:



The very different face, and sub pattern make me think this. My placidochromis phenochilus tanzania did not have this appearance when I got him at 3.5 inches, and was pretty much a smooth blue by this point with his adult face orientation(he is just now over 1 year on getting his steepened forehead though). Is it a cross or perhaps a descendant of a different collection point? Please help inform me on this as I have limited exposure to this fish beyond the one I have and a few google image searches.
