Well its not a socolofi or a cobalt blue. And i did check with the shop guy (funky fish) that they arent hybrids. All i know is they had BB after their name which must represent something.

Looks like a kennyi to me.
Formerly Ps. lombardoi....now I think Malandia lombardoi.
Males turn yellow.

Hi DG,

The "BB" stands for blue black (the stripes). The larger fish on the right is a pseudotropheus demasoni. The other one I'm not sure. I'll do some searching a get back if I come up with anything.

Cheers guys.

You see the stripes are not uniform like with the demasoni. They are sort of random like the crabro but no sort of middle horizontal black bits like the crabro has.
