I am having trouble finding images of Haplochromis obesus and Haplochromis cavifrons. In my Google searching, I came across an article that says the "Haps" were reclassified in 1989... but I can't seem to find a listing as to what the old scientific names became. Can anyone help me, either by letting me know:
1) What the new scientific names of H. obesus and H. cavifrons are
2) Where I can find images of either

If I may ask, what exactly are you seeking this information for? Are you involved in some research or do you wish to keep these species?Gas http://www.africancichlids.net

I understand. I don't have either of these two species, but if it is these particular two cichlids that you are after, you might want to contact Paul Loiselle at pvl2413@aol.com. Dr. Loiselle might be able to point you in the right direction. If you are looking for examples from these assemblages, we keep Harpagochromis sp. "golden duck" and a couple Lipochromis sp. including L. cf. parvidens. These are both closely related to the afore mentioned piscavores. If we can help you out with photographs, just let me know.Gas http://www.africancichlids.net
