Hi Alan

Definitely not a male P. salousi, they have vertical stripes. Looks like some sort of Melanochromis species to me but that's just a guess.

BTW cool fish Fixem

Cheers

Thanks for you comments guys and girls.

See Sarah's post what they are Maingano being the common name when you are looking for some.

All my Africans are in our "granny flat" and wanted a display inside the house.

After a lot of thought (probably the first time in my fish career that this has happened ) I decided to go for a combination of Elec yellows and Maingano.

Males and females are both blue. I think these are females (hopefully). I have another female seperated with a mouthful

With the bright colours it has a Marine tank like quality about it.

When i can eventually get a decent picture I will post it MMmmmmmmmmmgetting a lot of reflection
