No they are not Trophious, they are Tropheus. I belive that they are T. brichardi Ujiji

Look at the shape and position of the mouth, it's not an Mbuna.

I agree with mog after I googled. However feel free to give me advice of fish, please don't mock the way I use my phone. I know how to zoom I just didn't feel the need.

 

[Mogurako]

No mocking here man just commenting on the. Mouth position, shape and the fact I also use my phone.

The Mpimbwe have blue eyes though.

Juvies and most sub-adults lack the blue eyes, they are available at our local swap meets on a regular basis.

Lol, I was saying it wasn't a chailosi

Ok I didn't check the photo properly when trying to identify the fish , as such I thought it was a chalosi , I then googled tropheus and agreed with mog that he was right. Can we drop and all agree that I was wrong and it isn't a chalosi. !!!!!!!!!! Lol
