| Looks like thats not a Julie (Tang)--almost 99.9% sure that it is a melanochromis auratus (or some other Malawi melanochromis).
Those three fish types are part of what you see in every "Mixed Mbuna" tank in every LFS across the country so odds are in favor that's what you've got.

HTHs Yup, that looks more like it and more like the older ones at the store. Thanks! It's definitely a Melanochromis auratus not the other... I thought the body shape didn't look quite right! | |
