Is this a Socolof's Mbuna?

[Nomad]

Hi everyone!
Here are some pics of one of my new cichlids - http://www.geocities.com/uqvets/lbluecichlid.htm. From the info I've looked at, I think he's a Pseudotropheus socolofi (Socolof's Mbuna). Does anyone know if this is correct?

Thanks!

I tried to look but got a 'page not found' message.

Here are some links I found:

you've included the period/full-stop at the end of the hyperlink. copy and paste link into browser and delete the end 'dot'.
Does look like a juvi socolofi to me, though i may be wrong.

It looks verymuch like socolofi. The gills look abnormally open. If it is not the angle of the shot he may be sick!

Very nice colors though!

Yeah, he has a bit of a chunk out of his gill operculum, but is otherwise fine. He was in a tank with heaps of juveniles when I bought him, so one of them may have injured him.
