Default Golden Cichlid

Hello,

My LFS have what they call Golden Malawi's, I didnt buy one as I wanted to check out for myself what they were and their temperament, habits etc.

I cannot find anything resembling on the net.
They are not Golden Malawi's, Yellow Labs, Rusty cichlid, Red zebra.

Any other ideas

Possibly one of the yellow forms of A. stuartgranti (Chipoka, Maleri, etc) or maybe A. baenschi? How was the fish shaped? Was it solid yellow, or did it have any markings of another color?

Hi,

no none of these i'm afraid, the fish has a slightly elongated nose (very slight) is a
organgey yellow colour (somewhere in between) it is pure coloured, perhaps slightly lighter on the belly. It has no stripes or spots that i could make out.
