RE: Chichlid identity....



Nope...
Nanochromis is an african species, and this one was clearly apisto...
Probably collected in the same location as dicrossus... Wish I bought it
that time. Only 3 vertical stripes on the tail, not as pronounced as in
nanochromis.

		Lilia,
		Nanochromis parilus springs to my mind.  It could be this
species.  Check
