Thanks Wes but as far as I know females johanni are yellow. The closest my be maingano but i still believe she's a melanochromis hybrid.

hey wes what about female chipokee?

I was thinkin that too but the face is too round and blunt where chipokaes are more elongated and pointed, and thhe striping is different too..

I'm thinking chipokae also, Rusty. Florin, could you get a side shot of this guy and the one behind (the one behind looks more like an auratus to me.)?

Thanks guys! I did some more research after your input and looks like I have a female chipokae. (The other in the picture is an auratus). Hope I'll see when it'll grow mature. She's only about 2-2.5". Thanks again to you all!
