Mystery Cynolebias ???



At the 1997 AKA National Convention in St. Louis, I bought a pair of fish
labeled as Cynolebias sp. CXCL0004.  I lost the male withon two days
and then the female a few weeks later (they were old fish).  I have since
learned that the pair I bought really don't look at all like the real Cyn.
CXCL0004 (A photo can be seen at Jerome's web site, URL
http://members.tripod.com/~Cynolebia/pics/uruguay2.jpg

The fish I bought had the shape of a Cyn. nigripinnis but was about 50%
larger.  It had the same pattern as NIG but was a light powder blue body
color.  It was the same color that's on the face of the CXCL0004 in the
above photo.

Any ideas on what I really had?  Cyn. affinnis?? Or a different
undescribed species??

Thanks.

(How I wish I had taken a picture of it!  Even a photo of the dead fish
would help.)
