Name Of Cichlid

[wilson004]

Do u know the name of this cichlid? I am pretty certain it is not an acei as it may look like 1 in the pic. he looks more like a mbuna. His fins are not yellow but a deep golden colour with light and medium purple stripes. I got him from a mixed tank at big als which didnt have a name posted. Thnaks for any help!

some kind of mbuna, ask the experts over at the cichlid forum

such fish are almost always hybrids of one sort or another.

Pearlmutt mix?
Labidochromis sp. "Perlmutt" profile

Malawi Mayhem could probably give a positive ID on it, like liv2pal said "mixed africans" are a lot of the time hybrids of some sort

His name is Mike Davis

My guess is its either Perlmutt or Labidochromis sp. "Hongi".

His fins are not yellow but a deep golden colour with light and medium purple stripes

Makes me think its a Hongi, also called Kimpuma.
