I'm looking for a yellow mbuna to go along with my hongi's. I've found a few, but going through the profile list is taking forever.

Thanks

I think you may be thinking of a different species there. My male and female dems have the same colors, blue and black.

demasoni are not yellow, almost certain, they are monomorphic and not yellow

Pseudotropheus daktari.
Metricalima zebra Gold.

There was a Psuedo imported, as Pseudotropheus sp. "Gold something", can't recall. They were a dwarf, about the size of a saulosi, stockier though.... none around now.

Do you have Labidochromis sp. Hongi or Labidochromis sp. Hongi SRT (aka Super Red Top Kimpuna)?

I ask because the Hongis already have some yellow to them, but the SRTs are more orange-red.

They were sold as SRT. But I'm not completely convinced that all of them are. The male seems to have a very small yellow top and the females have a bright orange red. I'll post some pics when I get home.

I am color blind so my color descriptions are off.

I really like the saulosi (i've been eye-balling them for a few years) but do you think the males could hold there own against hongi?

I think the two blue barred fish in one tank would clash.
