Cyprichromis lept. jumbo Mbita grandiose = goldfin Mpulungu?

[taeniopareius]

Is Cyprichromis leptosoma jumbo Mbita grandiose the same fish or similar to Cyprichromis leptosoma jumbo goldfin Mpulungu?

[James Shingler]

Not sure, all I know is Mbity Rocks also called Kumbula Island is very close to Mpulungu.

Thanks. Doesn't look like there is any pic of mpulungu goldfin on the web either... Anyway for Mbita and/or coloratus is there individual male without yellow on head region or with black dorsal or anal fin?

[jolly cichlids]

coloratus=grandoise mbita .Mpulungu is also called kalambo gold fin where they are truly collected from. These are not the same fish just both jumbo's.

Thanks. Kalambo is probably at the river mouth draining into the southeastern part of the lake. Wondering is coloratus is really found only at Mbita and Mpulungu or is it more widespread? Can they be found together with jumbo?
