Dimidiochromis Compressiceps

[BEdward]

Just thought I'd share my latest addition to my Malawi tank. I'm not very good at aquarium photography - and this guy does not like the camera! It's the best shot out of about 20

It's difficult to get perspective in this picture - but he's ~6-7" He's pretty peaceful, however, he's ALWAYS sizing the other fish up. I can always tell that he's wondering if they'll fit in his mouth...

That has to be one of the nicest I have seen!

Thanks! I guess I haven't come across many photos of these fish, but they are more attractive then I thought they'd be.

They are classified as Haps on Cichlid Forum's profiles.

thats a really nice one!! i dont think i've ever seen one with those colors ...just watch out these guys can get real aggressive and they are lightning fast.

If that ever becomes a problem, I've already decided I'll make it a Eye Biter species tank
