Adult territorial males: spotted pattern not readily observable; dorsal, caudal and anal fins blue; dorsal fin with orange lappets and white submarginal band; maculae and striae not well developed; anal fin yellow/orange distally; pectoral fins transparent with blue-grey hue; pelvic fins grey with white leading edge (Ref. 55922). Females: background color white or yellow with many dark brown speckles and spots, to a large extend arranged in rows on dorsal, caudal and anal fins (Ref. 55922). Color pattern of immature and non-territorial males intermediate between female pattern and adult male pattern, with an increasing intensity of blue on the body with increasing territoriality (Ref. 55922). Preserved: speckled pattern on head, body and fins, sometimes difficult to see and then only observable as a pattern of dark and light color on each individual scale; basic body color yellow to brown; typical Nimbochromis-pattern of blotches vague and difficult to see; dorsal fin lappets, trailing edge of pelvic fins and ventral margin of anal fin whitish; maculae in caudal fin arranged in vertical rows in small specimens ( Snoeks, J. and J.
