I've got these fish in a shop here in Belgium that imported them from RDC (Congo/Kinshasa) in september 2009
I've no valid information about catch place!
These fish were only called Nanochromis sp. but after showing some pictures of them on french speaking forum we "decided" to call them Nanochromis teugelsi.
Nevertheless, some month ago I read again Anton lamboj's book and then I begin to hesitate, and finally I wonder if my fish are not nanochromis splendens...
I'll post here plenty of photos so I hope that you will be able to help me!!!
In the shop when they just arrived







at home some month later













wild male

The wild pair still spawning till now...







One thing among other that made me think I have splendens is that in my 1st generation raised in aquarium they were a lot af females without any spot in the caudal fin. The 2 wild females a had had only 1 spot (so had the other wild female in the shop)
I have never seen females with 2 spots...
I can read, regarding splendens (...) none or 1 spot in the caudal (...) and for the teugelsi (...) 1 to 2 spots (...)
I don't know if this criteria is relevant.
Thanks for reading and halping if it can!
