Unfortunately these are hybrids...don't be fooled by people telling you it is a or any other real species.

Out of personal interest what is the length of these fish?

It matches none of the 9 hybrids in the Cat-eLog, Birger. Not that that list is all-encompassing but just thought I'd point out. If we/you see a lot of these, maybe a new entry is warranted.

We could do that with permission from the owner of the images.

There has been a number of differing hybrids especially in the last year that look Tanganyikan, possibly combinations of different real species and usually tracked back to Eastern Europe.

I think I will link this with the hybrid syno thread.

I have no problems with the images being used, if required I could try and get something better to use.
