That white alto calvus doesn't look very white.
Here's a white Calvus

Here's another nice Calvus pic.

I like all Altolamprologus Calvus. They are one of my favourite fish
But out of the ones you suggested I like the ink fins and the Kipilis (H)

well, those are the colorations i got of the site i'd be getting them from, i'd be getting them for $7+shipping for 1-2" fish F2-F3 (calvus grow about an inch every 1.5-2 years) rather than $100 for a 4" F0 pair in town

D and H. if I were to stray away from the New World's, calvus would be the first on my list. Well I guess technically second since I already have a school of Cyprichromis leptosoma 'Utinta' but hey, you know what I mean.

They are all great, but I have to go with (B). I just got a big FO pair along with my new tank.
