Another Odd African?

I bought it as a Tang, the place didn't say what kind, just that "It's very expensive, but I'll give it to you cheap"

I first thought it could be Ctenochromis horei, but could it be something else, maybe a Malawian?

 

[the_evil_duboisi]

Errr......I guess nobody has an idea?

Sorry dude, not much of a clue. Could it be genus geophagus... the earth-eating cichlids?

 

[the_evil_duboisi]

How about this?

Someone ssaid it could be a Boulengerochromis microlepis....I sure hope it's not...

 

[rED O]

it could be a Boulengerochromis microlepis it also might be a hybrid.

 

[the_evil_duboisi]

What kind of fishes could be possible? I mean, what could the parents be, if it were a hybrid?

AFter personally seeing 4 WC adults, the body structure of this fish is something I have only seen in B. microlepis...
