lovely looking fish!

[belldin]

vary nice artical some good info in there seam's my friend was correct it is a blotched marmalade cat , But the artical say's that a marmalde cat is basicaly any fish with the OB marking's and sugest that there are acualy different species of Mbuna that develop OB marking's . what species it my particular OB marmalade cat ?

[belldin]

the jaw structure may be the only clue i have to go by. it's vary different than any Mbuna i have ever seen. insted of a slant up from the hinge or a horizonal it acualy slants down and forms an over laping structure, the only way i can discribe it is . if you have ever gone fishing and caught a bufalo carp that had it's "lip's" pulled off that's what it looks like a bottom feeder with no lip's

Labeotropheus Fuelleborni OB, that is my guess by the picture.

[tarheels910]

Yea, more likely a Fuelleborni than a Zebra because of the way its mouth is shaped.

i belive you may be correct with Labeotropheus Fuelleborni i found this pick of one and the mouth structure is strikingly similer
