the problems with identifying african cichlids are (1) there are many less known strains that may be hard to identify if not identified by the dealer (2) they readily interbreed creating hybrids (the hybrids are mostly undesirable)

the best ID book i have come across here in the states is a book by Ad Konings that I cant remember the name of. It costs about $75 here in the US, but it is a great reference and has been on my Christmas list for 3 years now LOL.
