Personally, I think Green Murago should be called Lusingu and then Yellow Murago should be called Moba II like in the Aqualog.
Otherwise, if ITS GOT LARGE SPOTS ON THE HEAD ITS MURAGO!!!380G For Sale $3000 Acrylic tank & stand

Seems like there maybe two other types of murago founded...This has been posted by Mark on TF.
"In the same vein i've recently seen some interesting stuff with Murago. I got a few loads of these and thought i had a good idea of what they looked like - then all of a sudden a large group turned up with JET BLACK tail fins...the kicker being the black went a good third of the way up the fishs body. It was a very striking fish. Not all of them but a good percentage. The first time i saw them i remember thinking too myself "wow those look different for murago"."
And this has been posted by Gernot on trophs.
"There's a brown variant of the Murago as well. I saw them in 2007 and they look great, for me better than the yellow variant. "
Pictures taken by Gernot.
Wonder if anyone has the updated aqualog to see if this has been documented or just wanting to get opinions from the tropheus experts on this issue.
Thanks guys.I ate my fish that died.

That's interesting because a lot of the females that I had in my colony possessed this type of coloration, where as the males had the yellow stripes and coloration like that picture I posted earlier. Hmm....
