Hi Daryl,
The current scientific name is: Metriaclima fainzilberi
This is really a beauty and their colors are spectacular! It is your typical mbuna, as far as maintenance, diet and breeding. They are a harem spawner so having a group (6-8) is essential. They are on the larger size for mbuna, so it is important that they are in at least a 55 gal tank, larger would be better.
They can be very personable too, and should swim fast to the glass at feeding time. A vegetable type diet is the best, while they will eat anything offered, it is better to keep them on a veggie flake or pellet. Seaweed paper, algae wafers and zucchinni are good treats.
Have fun with them!
Cichlid Power!
