not sure why but reminds me of a type of hap

 

[Davo86]

we really need a photo of it, from that pic i can't even tell what colour it is, can see a bit of blue and a blotch or two but nothing overly clear,

It is a Peacock/Hap of some sorts

at a guess i'll say its a Copadichromis sp. possibly C.Verduyni

they have had those blackish spots since i got them but the bigger ones come and go?? it is strange!! are you sure it is stress?? they eat out of my hand..they arent afraid of me.
