Hippo Point Salmon

just one pic i took of one i have in my african show tank.
not many have or like this

fish it seem like. one of the few africans that i do.

just like this pic cause of how

clear it is (something very rare for me) and he always runs from the camera.
and cause of the

sparkles.
he wasent very red in this pic though http://cichlid.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif usually is much brighter red.
