njassae?

Post by Tom »

http://www.exotic-cichlids.com shows a picture of what they are calling wild Syn. njassae. I'd like some opinions on what species you think this is. Go to website, go to photo gallery then go to Malawi.

What threw me off was the coppery color. Is that a juvenile color is it the camera? I remember njassae being a silver fish.
