Hi, I just bought this male african from a lfs and I cant remember what he said it was. Anyways here is a pic of him.

He is a greyish/blue colour with some light black stripes going down him, he also has some black on his top and bottom fins

I could either change my resolution on my camera which would take a few button presses or re-size it in photoshop cs3 but I am a lazy bum so i left it in maximum resolution knowning that this forum re-sizes, I got plenty of ftps and webspace so I dont believe in those image hosting sites lol

It's a female M.Lombardoi.

its got lots of egg spots I thought it was a male, but a male is meant to be yellow? Could it be something else?

Definitely Lombardoi, males start turning yellow at around 1.5" so unless it's smaller than that - it's a female.

Egg spots aren't a reliable indication of sex, dominant females can have just as many or more than a male.
