Wanted : Labidochromis "red-top Kimpuma"

[Airborne001]

Does anyone have any female or unsexed Labidochromis "Red-Top Kimpuma"? I have two beautiful males, but they are getting lonely.

Is there anyone in the club that knows the difference between these two fish?

I have two that were sold as "red top kimpuma" and mine are a light powder blue like the first pic, also mine do not show the two black bars on the forehead at all. If anyone can help me verify these, or if the person that sold them at CCA could give me a bit of history on them, I would really appreciate it.

I want to breed them, but do not under any circumstances want to create any hybrids.

If these are Maylandia greshakei, they used to be called Pseudotropheus greshakei or Trade name: Pseudotropheus ice blue. Hope that helps.

Never kept them BUT I've seen them up at www.frybabies.com I believe she has F1 and F0 for sale. also these 2 shouldnt cross......... they are genetically very far removed..... but I still dont know if I would take the chance seeing that they look so much a like.

Given those pics in addition to what I have seen on another site, I am now convinced they are the Metriaclima greshakei, thanks for helping me clear this up.
