Here's some Usisya shots. Some of them are black, some brown some yellow, and the dominant male is sort of a chameleon with his colors plus he's the only one with the blue barring on top of his head. The Pseudotropheus elongatus usisya's are my most graceful fish.

Yes, it is very weird. Quite a few posts are like this, with extras at the beginning. I was really surprised to see one of mine doing it lol.

I really like your yellow fish, I think they are so pretty(yellow fish).

The bright yellow? Ps. saulosi.... some of them will eventually turn blue with dark stripes... but they are still very young. The one in the pic got nipped . If it continues I will have to remove them and put them in a tank of their own.

Hey Exiled.... You got some really interesting fish there.... are they a new import also? I've seen lots of elongatus variations but none like that... is it related to the ndumba brown?
Also, I just saw your Cyno afra mbwecas --- please read that posting I have some questions for you there about the breeder.....
Love the diversity in your tank

Hi NYmbuna. Welcome to the forum. What mbuna do you keep?
) Thanks for all the compliments..... you should also check out Freshmike's fish they ROCK!
as far as Pseudo. elongatus ndumba brown, not sure how closely related they are but after all they are elongatus's
Good luck with the breeder (got my PM?) he's a little ummm, how can I put this nicely...."rough around the edges"
