      Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

        I would assume emperor since they are the largest cichlid

                  Think there only sold as a pair for 300 if I remember correctly. There moving soon might be able to get a better price.

                        its this species
                        Boulengerochromis microlepsis

                        and i found an article of someone who successfully bred them
                        Boulengerochromis microlepis is, with a maximum adult length of about 70 cm, one of the biggest (maybe even the biggest) cichlids in the world. It is a notorious predator which catches its prey by pursuit. There are a few reports about its breeding technique in its natural environment but these are somewhat contradictory, this article reports on probably the first successful reproduction of this cichlid in aquarium

                          Yes that is the correct species. Your looking at fish that would require a massive aquarium to house and possibly reproduce.
