Hope someone can help me. I am trying to figure out what type of african cichlid i just purchased. He is similar to a demasoni, but a much lighter colour.

It could be a female demasoni? Some of my demasoni (the females?) are distinctly lighter than others.

This is a crop from a smart phone so not great image quality, but you can see the color difference here.

I have small demasoni's in my tank as well. Really dark colour as in my first photo. You are probably right.

I guess i was confused about the yellow on the top fin.

Yeah looks like it has an extra bar or two as well.

If it's a demasoni he's a pretty cool one :) unique.
