What type of African is this?

I agree a brighter clearer side pic would help ID this guy. But you can look at some pic of the Aulonocara Chitande species. I can rule out the Masinje and the North's. But look at some of the Mozambique variants. If this is one of them I am definately interested in them. They are one I am missing that I want. 

I agree with Kegger. He lookes alot like a black dorsal flavescent, but it's hard to tell because the picture is so dark.
Can you get us a brighter picture that includes a good view of the dorsal fin?
That would help.

most would say Benga but with the black trim along the dorsal I would go for a flavesant of some sort but most likely mixed with something else

I have a guess, but I'll wait for Kegger22 to chime in. He's the Peacock guru.

My friend gave me some of his fish (1 male and 8 females) when he broke down his fish room and I am not sure what kind they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You can view pictures of the male at www.eaglechasehomeowners.com/fish/       THANKS, Steve
