Paralabidochromis chromogynos:  As you can see, both the male and the female are a piebald (blotched colored) cichlid.  They are insectivores that grow to about 4.5 inches (11 cm) long.  This varient is from Zue Island off the coast of Tanzania in Lake Victoria.  Mine tend to flair their fins in a standoff but never seem to bite, liplock or cause any harm what-so-ever.
