    It looks Tanganyikan. Could be a Neolamprologus Tetracanthus.

      Reba,

      Looking in the book "Back to Nature, Guide to Tanganyika Cichlids" Page 132 The picture of the Neolamprologus Tetracanthus "Magara" is so stunningly close to your picture I am agreeing with Jeebus.  This is the fish.

      Pertain info listed for the fish.
      Difficultly level to keep : 2 (1-5, where 5 is hardest)
      Length of fish Male/Female : 19/15cm
      Should be kept in a minimum of an aquarium which longest length is minimum 80cm, and at least 100L.
      Each Brood will be around 100 fry.

      This fish occurs thought out the lake, normally seen in the shallow sandy and intermediate habitats.   Eats invertebrates, including snails.  Breeding style : cave brooder, digs a small hole in the sandy substrate to serve as a nursery chamber, a rather peaceful species which can be kept in pairs or small groups.

      Cyps, WC Xeno Spilopterus Kipili WC/F1/F2 T. sp red Kiku
      58 S. Decorus

                wow...these guys don't go after anything....... they just don't allow themselves to be picked on.
                I guess maybe it's cuz I got them while they were still small.  Someone literally tossed them into my mean tank lol.

                      Xtreme has about six to eight of them for $17.99 each. Good size too, about 3.5-4" each.

                          That's a decent price, I paid 10.00 each for mine, and they where only about 2.5 inches....

                            I USED to have some of these guys a few years back, but the dominant male KILLED everything in the tank, so they were trade-ins at Fish Ranch 2.  8O
