Astatotilapia latifasciata is commonly referred to as the "Zebra Obliquidens." This Victorian Hap is very common in the hobby, which is fortunate because it is now presumed extinct in the wild. It is easily distinguished because of the vibrant bursts of red and yellow on its belly with thick, vertical black bars on its silver body. Females are also considerably colorful, although they lack the bursts of red and yellow that the males possess. Furthermore, they are prolific spawners and females will actually guard the fry for up to two months after release. That means they can be raised in the same tank with the parents. This fish has a mild temperament for a Victorian Hap, which are renowned for their ability to terrorize.

Also knowb as Haplochromis sp. "Flameback" is a very attractive Victorian Hap with a bold red stripe down its back . It is very prolific and consequently commonly available at extremely reasonable prices but be sure not to mistake it for Haplochromis sp. Ruby Green or Pundamilia Nyererei. Flamebacks prefer the littoral zone in the wild, the intermediate area between the rocks and open, sandy bottom. They feed on phytoplankton (diatoms and blue-green algae) and some insect larvae and zooplankton.

Also known as Haplochromis Nubilus is a Lake Victoria cichlid, but unlike most Lake Victoria cichlids this species is actually not endemic to Lake Victoria. You can find wild Astatotilapia nubila in the rivers and streams of the Victoria basin and in Lake Edward, George, Kachira, Navakali, Kijanebalola, Kyoga and Nabugabo. It is considered to be less specialized than most other African cichlids and is for instance without specialized teeth, jaws and finnage. It is highly adaptive, exists in many different habitats, and is renowned for being exceptionally sturdy and resilient.
