About 3 inches. Thanks for your feedback.

Johannii.

Thanks for the reply. The stripe patterns appears different from johanni. The base colour purple/somewhat blue tones is what throws me off from concluding its auratus.

Yes, not a Johanni tyep. Does seem simialr to Auratus but may be a hybrid with Chipokae. Hard to guess if he is a rarer type of Melanochromis.

Thanks Noki. Auratus /chipokae hybrid seems most probable. It is subdominant so it might not be demonstrating full coloration. The dominant fish is a 4 inch female auratus type in the background of the third picture.
