really wanted to know what fish this is as i have two of them which i have had for over a year. I have spent ages looking over the internet with luck any help would be great. iam quite sure its a cichlid of some sort.

Definately a hap. My guess is female n.venustus.

i thought that it might have been a n venustus but i wasnt 100% sure. they are a great fish, really playfull with each other. cant wait to move them over to there new home a 240L tank.

Glad to hear they are going to larger home, but you do realize they get up to 11 inches and will eventually need at least a 6ft tank.
