Re: A.atahualpa 'sunset' & Laetacara sp.?

[David Sanchez <barbax2@yahoo.com>]

Upon further review I have a species that is similer
to the Laetacara sp. I am describing. On page 198 of
American Cichlids I (Linke & Staeck) The Laetacara sp.
Bulge-headed Laetacara. The overall color for them is
yellow! however. Any thoughts out there anyone? Are
there any other pictures out there of the Laetacara
sp.Bulge-headed Laetacara? My fish has the abdominal
stripes mentioned it very similar in many ways but the
color is very diffrent. Might it be a diffrent color
variety of diffrent species?  Anyway the whole head
region is lighting up on many of the fish with blue
speckles, perhaps a sexual specific trait?
