The Tropheops Sp. "Red Cheek" is very attractive fish with a great color combination of yellow and blue. The females of this species are all yellow instead of a drab color like a lot of Mbunas, giving a nice eye-pleasing variety. Their most distinguishing naming feature is related to the yellow to red color in the area of their cheeks and chin. Several other different names are used for them, including Pseudotropheus Tropheops Red Head, Pseudotropheus Big Eye, and Macropthalmus Red cheek. But the most interesting description we've found for them is 'M'kokafodya', interpreted in the Mbuna language as 'Glowing Fire' or 'Live Coal', from Nick Andreola's article, "Tropheops sp. "red cheek""
