Bought this Cichlid as a baby and it was all silver when I first got it. It was advertised as a Haplochromis sp. flameback. I don't really agree with that though. We all know the "accurate" labeling you find at your LFS sometimes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

P.S. in the last photo where he is displaying nicely he just finished devouring 5 ghost shrimp. Most I've ever seen him display until now.

Does look similar indeed

I have a kyoga flameback that looks pretty similar. You might want to check those guys out


Thanks! very very close definitely. It's hard for me to pin-point with these guys because there are so many Victorian cichlids that have the same color patterns, only difference i notice is the location of the pattern. Areas like their back, belly, and fins.


Thanks for the respone!
