[roydesilva]

Hey I just bought this for $5 from the lfs found him/her in the assorted mbuna tank... I was thinking that it was a female Pseudotropheus saulosi but if not I think its a Pseudotropheus of some sort

It's usually a lot more yellow!! Ill get some more pics when it's released

It looks like a young rusty cichlid. I could be wrong

Maybe btw he/she is around 13-14cm (5.5inches)

 

[bettaowner]

That would be too large to be a rusty cichlid. It could be the brown variant of pseudotropheus elongatus

Definitely not a rusty maybe a hybrid. Were did you get it?

Male kenyi

 

[snowman17]

Naa don't think it's a kenyi either

I got it from the lfs from the assorted cichlid tank

Community, think it could be a hybrid/cross breed or birth defect?
The head is also a little off for all 3 suggestions, yet contains the main
Identifiers of what we have all suggested?

Very well could be. A lot of place that supply the stores will keep the assorteds in a big pond. Here hybridization could easily happen. I've seen holding females in petsmart before. I'm saying some mbuna hybrid

Hey just to let you all know that it has settled in well and all of its stipend have faded and the yellow now?! ill get some pics up when I get home

 

[molliwopp]

Looks like quite a nice fish whatever he or she is.

 

[roydesilva]

He's some new pics of him/her settled in

 

[roydesilva]

And if shes a she... is she holding?? If been thinking this but sometimes it looks like she isn't... And she chases everyone even the dom male :/

 

[roydesilva]

Anyone?

Your fish kinda reminds me of my hybrid I got from petsmart. The mouth kinda looks the same
