So, this is a follow up to this thread:

Ok, So What Did Petsmart Sell Me? | Cichlid Forum | 421892


Could not post there.

So I went into Petsmart again today. Below is what I saw. I thought the yellow ones might be the females, but there was a yellow lab sign on the tank, I'm sure those were them. The lady that worked there told me the yellowish ones with the markings on the side were the females, does that sound right? It certainly looks like they are the females lol. Thanks!!!

The ones with markings appear to be juvenile Pseudotropheus interruptus. Another close relative of the johannii complex, they are the only one that shows vertical markings in addition to the broad line down the flanks.

Female johannii almost look like a washed out female auratus, light body with a dusky brown band down the side, no vertical markings.
