Dimidiochromis type id
« on: November 13, 2018, 12:21:49 PM »

Can some i.d this fish please? Got it in the MCAS auction last weekend ..The bag said 2F 1M Dimidiochromis Compressiceps. But to me it looks like a strigatus or kiwinge.  The fish are missing the continuous black stripe on the body and forehead.

Disappointed that the seller labelled it wrongly.

For sure does not look like a compressiceps.  Head shape is not correct.  There have been some hybrid ones going around.

It's cool looking whatever it is.
