Udated pix 6/21 Think I lucked onto a Paratilapia polleni!!

UPDATED PIX 6/21
I apologize for photo quality. He's a little thing, @ 1.5 inches, but already going to a black with patterns of small white dots--with a row along the base of the dorsal fin. Sold as a "pollani cichlid"--the lfs is phasing out cichlids. Fits all the descriptions--probably something else, but maybe . . . . :dance2:

I have a two P. Bleekeri. They are great fish. I have found this web site with some good information on them. http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/aquainfo/paratilapia_bleekeri.html

I hope you find this useful.

Thanks alot, evans1ea. Very interesting info--a very fascinating fish. I'm tempted to go back and get the last one--9.99 less 25% on sale!!! This little guy is so neat--think I'll end up liking him even more than a severum. :clap:
