Definitely a Hap cichlid from Lake Malawi, though I can't ascertain the actual type. Probably a Nyassachromis type - sorry, I'm sure I've seen this fish in photos before, but I can't identify exactly which one.

Try posting in cichlid-forum (under the Unidentified cichlids section) ... you'll get an accurate ID for sure.

Went home and had a look through some photos - based on the horizontal bar and the colours, probably a Protomelas similis.

Hmm ... body's a bit too elongated though. But I've never kept Protomelas similis so, I can't be sure.

Have fun at cichlid-forum!

Looks to me like a Malawi Eye Biter - semi adult. I could be wrong though!
