Anybody guess what these guys are? I just picked them up from my
favorite fish store here near Seattle. I'd been waiting for some
similar but these showed up instead. I grabbed 6 nice specimens right
out of the shipping bag.

Ok, not 100% on the name, but they are a type of zebra, I'm sure that
this will sound funny, but they might even be a 'red finned' or blood
finned zebra, that's the trade name, I'm not sure of the real name,
I'll check and get back to you...

says he might be a Pseudotropheus greshakei, albino zebra, or
similar...

The problem is, the Pseudotropheus breed gets over bred with bad
strains and eventually, you get fish that don't look like other fish...
so these may not be what you have, just that they look like it...

One thing i'm sure of, they're no severums... sorry...

One suggestion, go here and have fun looking at all the different kinds
that look like yours...
