Not a princes or Daffodil.. Although Daffodil is now a new term for these..
Your is a Pulcher and although their are several, this one due to the eye markings and blue coloring around his eyes is from the lake region Chituta OR Mzwema.. they are classified by their face markings and the lines that run down their eyes.. this one is a Pulcher, not a Brichardi or princes as some are called.. the Princes has longer pointed fins and the line by the eye goes straight out, not down like these are..

Thank you I could not find any others with these face markings at any my lfs.
The ones in the shops have a horizontal line not vertical running from the eye

then they are bircardi, not the Pulchers.. here is a good site that lets U see them all and U can judge for your self.. Also the Daffodil is for the color yellow as they have yellow in thier fins.. Scroll to the Neopamprologus and do Brichardi then Pulcher further down..
