Reclassified from Pseudotropheus to Metriaclima, this is a relatively small, elongate mbuna. Males usually are yellow with black edges on their tail. In some populations yellow/blue or even solid light blue males are found. Females are beige or yellowish also with the black edges on the tail. Apparently "daktari" is the Swahili word for doctor.
