Another Cichlid Id Thread :)

[CathyGo]

So basically I'm looking to get an ID of what this fish actually is. I have a pair and they are about 3 inches long each.

He was put in a floating breeder so his color didn't show real well but he is mostly yellow with some red around his "cheeks". He also has some black stripes on his head.

Hi, im not sure... but the black stripe near his eye reminds me of a Placidochromis Electra. But the colour dont match

Sorry i couldn't help more.

They are Pundamilia nyererei (FlameBacks)

if they look like this:

Looks like Astatotilapia calliptera to me. Try a google search of that name and see if the "images" match your fish. I have 2 pairs myself, would like to find some more females if you happen to know anyone willing to ship.
