I pick up this guy at the lfs.... they had them labeled, with a bunch of others as assorted cichilds....

Looks like either p. socolofi or a p. elongatus, the pics are just too blurry to say for sure.

Mbuna, and that's about all you can tell unless you really KNOW what it is (label on tank includes exact scientific name and collection location or the fish is from parents that meet this requirement).

It is a cichlid from Lake Malawi, not Lake Tanganyika. I would guess Pseudotropheus elongatus as well.

You'll never know if its pure strain, but Pseudotropheus Elongatus is as close as it gets, I agree.
