ID this controversial fish

Post by efors »

Hello, Pam!
Can you id this 2 1/2 inches long young mbuna? It was sold to me as a rusty (I. sprengerae). Some very experienced friends have told me that it is very likely to be a yellow lab- red zebra hybrid or maybe a kenyi (M. lombardoi) hybrid.
What do you think? :shock: Thanks!

Hi Efors,

hmmmm thats a tough one?? And at that size it is even harder? I am just not good at guessing on these mbuna that are crossed up. However I can definitely say it is not "rusty".
