Melanochromis: What are mine?

[SteveInEssex]

I have been having a problem for sometime now in naming exactly what my ciclids are. I know they are a melanochromis variety and today my LFS stated that they are : melanchromis lepidiaptes (not sure if i have spelling exact), I have been unable to trace this name anywhere on the net. Has anyone heard of lepidiaptes or anything similar? If so, any suggestions as to web sites where I can get pics and useful information?

Thanks for the link. They do look like that, but with slightly different colours. Mine are lilac all over.

BigOh, I know we spoke about this yesterday, but do you have any recommendations as to a pair of ciclids less aggressive than these, but able to live with them????
