Hard to tell but looks like a Cyphotilapia frontosa juvenile

It is a juvenile frontosa, they get pretty big be careful lol

Cool thanks, yeah I have him in a 125gal tank so this will be cool to see him get that big I have an Oscar about that size now...

 

[Jacobsal91]

Be really careful mixing them. If thats what their doing
Ive tried mixing africans with south americans and failed and ended up with 2 tanks lol

Any chance of a clearer picture, it's hard to tell, as Young frontosa look very similar to neolamprologus tretrocephalus.

Definately a frontosa.

Key difference: with frontosa's the dorsal fin starts on the black stripe; with the neolamprologus species the dorsal begins on the white stripe.
