ID assistance please

[Ferris]

Hi all,

I bought this little guy about 2 months ago and haven't been able to get any info at all off google etc. I rarely buy fish, especially cichlids, if i don't know exactly what they are but this fella just kinda caught my eye.

He was labeled as a Yellowface Cichlid, have a look at the pic and see what you think. Its not the best pic but he's a bit camera shy.

Thanks

Do you figure its a mbuna?

I actually found 1 reference to it last night on google images. Definately the same fish and labelled as "Pseudotropheus Zebra Golden", which sounds like a made up LFS name to me. . I then googled P. Zebra Golden and found other references to the correct fish using the same name so maybe it is right.

vantgE - Thanks for the interest, its definately Mbuna based on appearance, temperament etc.

I have two of the same fish i bought last weekend, they are all whiteish/ albino with a yellow gold face.... If anyone has the ID that would be great.

i saw some of those the other day in a tank with yellow labs, cobalts & demasonis. but the tank was just labeled as africans. not very helpful i'm afraid.
