鉴别: The blue-barred males of Chindongo saulosi resemble male P. minutus from the western shores near Nkhata Bay, and even more so those of P. demasoni from Pombo Rocks, Tanzania. Males can be distinguished from those of the latter species by 5 or more vertical bars below the dorsal fin while P. demasoni only has four bars. It differ fromP. minutus in having a wider mouth and a more steeply descending snout.The snout of P. minutus is noticeably longer than the more rounded snout of Chindongo saulosi. The females (and juveniles) of C. saulosi, however, are entirely orange-yellow and clearly different from those of the other two species. Females differ from those ofPseudotropheus interruptus (Chizumulu Johannii) by having a pattern of faint vertical bars that also is visible in preserved specimens.
Chindongo saulosi 的公鱼斑马纹类似于 Nkhata 湾附近C, minutus(迷你小岩鲷), 甚至更像是Pombo Rocks(蓬波岩) 的C.demasoni(特蓝斑马)。索罗斯公鱼的背鳍下方有5条斑马纹,可以明显区分于特蓝斑马(特蓝只有4条)。C.minutus(迷你战神的)有一个更大的嘴巴和一个更加向下的吻部。minutus 的鼻子明显长于 Chindongo saulosi 的圆的鼻子。然而, saulosi 的雌性 (和幼鱼) 完全是橙黄色的, 与其他两个物种明显不同。雄性约于4-6cm开始变色。
