haplochromis sp "red shoulder"

[mapyru]

Does someone knows a bit about this fish!
Is it actually an existing specie or is this an invention!
If true specie , what about the status in the hobby

bye and thanks for your answers

IIRC someone in Europe bred this presumed hybrid and sold under various names such as fake "all red Nawampasa", "red shoulder", fake "nyererei", etc:

Thanks a lot, that is exactly same fish I saw in my petshop ! They ordered some for me to investigate quality!
It is distributed by Czech fantasy . There is also one more dark specimen like one in your picture set!

Last info I got from Deutschland is that one day Ralf Paul sold some fishes to a czech breeder!
I know also they talked about " Red shoulder" from Edward lake in Russia some years ago!

What will be the best, is to find for a scientist reference, to help us, to be sure we can consider this as minor fish!

Well some of the red shoulder eventually become big 5-6 inches monster with red back & forehead and gold body.
