P. demasoni do not have any yellow markings on their dorsal fins (or any
other areas), the stripe pattern extends past the anal fin (it seems the
stripe pattern in most afras fades at around the anal fin).
Demasoni are a lot more aggressive (primarily towards their own kind) and
are monomorphic (the genders are very similar and somewhat difficult to
distinquish, while afra a dimorphic (with obvious gender differences).
There's also a dietary difference. Demasoni are herbivores and the afra are
carnivore/omnivores. There's probably more differences, but these are
probably the most obvious.

They look like Kenyi to me. They have some at the LFS, they are very pretty
but I'm glad I didn't get any if they are hypeterritorial.
