Tropheus moorii.
Not enough yellow for ikola, I agree with moorii
The "morph" is usually a collection point, so nice try on that one. Second, it's still not a tropheus moorii ikola nor a tropheus sp. ikola. Too much yellow. A species is not going to vary THAT much. An ikola will have a predominantly yellow body. Either way, most collection points offer minute differences and are near impossible to distinguish. This isn't my first post, I understand collection points. But when all you say is tropheus ikola, that refers to a species, not a collection point or even "morph" as you call it
That just proved basically nothing you said! I wasn't arguing the fact that there are several collection points (or as the article says, "geographical variants") with the species T. moorii.
FYI, a Wikipedia article means nothing to me. On the day that evil kinevil died, it said he was killed by Bigfoot.
Okay well anyway im really not talking to you im actually talking to the person who started this thread i don't mean to make you feel like im knocking your knowledge but your really taking this too seriously and for no real reason because i do oppose a feasible point.... Anyhow to finish what i had originally intended this is why "i"believe what you have here is ikola these are pictures i found of ikola that look similar to your fish notice the vertical bars have remained distinguished this would be even more so on a young or less dominant adult fish These are only three of quite a few i found to be similar. Perhaps you can take a better photo with more lighting it is hard to make out the complete detail.
