    I'm pretty sure it is not a tropheus, but rather a Nicaraguense Cichlid or Hypsophrys nicaraguensis

    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

      that is no where near close to being a real tropheus.

      a hybrid? very possible.

      looks like a ram crossed with a tadpole if you ask me.

        I am going to go with Armthehomeless' view here.  It looks like a very young specimen.   If I am correct he will grow to be a pretty big cichlid.   From reading what I can find, they will grow to 20cm (8in) male and 16cm (6in) Females.  Looking at a video of the fish the owner had them with Firemouths of Kribs.  They both made those fish look 1/2 size.  They are big bodied fish rather than long, which is why I am saying they get to be big fish.

            Still, a very pretty fish, and one I would not mind having in my tank.

            Thanks for sharing the pics..

              The fish is definately not a tropheus.  It may look close, but it is not.

              From the coloring the fish has in the flank, I'd suggest some kind of Central/SOuth American.
