What are we?

[aquashelle]

I'm guessing some sort of fuellborni (sp?) but it has the usual mbuna face... And ideas? I have two, and one has the fleshy nose, and the other doesn't. Any identication help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Labeotropheus fuelleborni (OB) perhaps.

I'm not very good at IDing fish, though. Perhaps a more expert eye can help you out.

Both trewavasae and fuelleborni have the fleshy protrusion to some extent. The red edge to the tail is intriguing. Where did you get it?

Looks like a Trewavase to me.

They both came with my tank when I purchased it, they were just a bit smaller. The dominant male recieved the addition of the orange spots on his tail when he became dominant, and he took on the more blue hue. It seems some people are wanting them, and I'm considering breeding...unless someone wants to place a bid on the couple

Lol JGUERRA,
