        Could it be some kind of Melanochromis?
        So many things can be a mystery, when all we're seeking is freedom...

          Are those camera phone pics or something?  They don't do those fish justice unless they really haven't colored up yet like they should.  The parents of those fish were just plain awesome when I bought them originally.

                A couple of the fish I got at the auction developed that mouth thing that looks like pieces of skin hanging from their lips.  Anyway... Pimafix didn't get rid of them all the way, so I binox'ed the water.  It made taking pictures downright difficult.  I used the same camera on the "mbamba's" that I did on the buffalo heads.  Big difference huh?
                Thanks Hanson for helping me.  I wasn't sure if you were still hanging around ;-)

                    I'm still here.  I usually check this place out a few times a day to see what's going on.  Pondering one big tank for my apartment for a nice display.  I just don't want to end up with 6+ tanks in my apartment again.
