Hi, This group of 1M/3F was sold to me as Yellow Calvus but the coloring doesn't match. I'm thinking comp? Perhaps Gold Head? There are times where the face just pops gold. Thanks for any input =)

HI Paulp,
From the pictures you sent, it looks like calvus to me by the slope on the head. The quality could be in question, as well as the coloration of your tank. When you have a dark background, they will turn dark on you as they are trying to blend in with the surroundings. Also if you are comparing to other pictures on the internet it can be confusing. It often boils back down to the reliability of source of the fish. Do you know and have faith in the person you purchased it from?
Cichlid Power!
