Ahhh Decker. I am going to sound like a broken record. The Mbuna you have pictured is most likely Metriaclima lombaroi also known as the "Kenyi".
Did it start off as blue with very dark blue stripes and then change to a goldish yellow or did you get it already in his male colors? This particular species is barely a notch down from the aruatus when it comes to aggression. Keep a good eye out on him.
I too started out with these species 6 years ago and am now much wiser as to their dispositions. It seams fish shops carry these things all over the world to suck us in. But that's OK I love them just the same.
