hi.
Have been out of keeping Africans for a while, so am a bit rusty on some previously remembered names.

Firstly, what's that (I think Malawi) cichlid that is fairly long in shape, long face/large bottom jaw, swims near the surface, grows relatively large, males have a blue face? And where can I get a couple?

Secondly, was getting some gear to reset my tank today and impulse bought two Placidochromis sp 'phenochilus gissel' cichlids. Don't know why, thought they looked cool, very unlike me to not research fish first. Does anyone know much about them? Good with other fish?

Thanks in advance,
Shane.
This fish...the top one?
