Re: Pelvicachromis sacrimontis

[Randy or Deb Carey <carey@spacestar.net>]

According to Linke/Staeck, sacrimontis is distinguishable from pulcher by the
irridescent blue about the eyes and the gills, and this feature is observed early
in the fishes life.  Please refer to the text and photos of this book.
