Is that a trick question? Cichlidae is the family.

I think you are looking for the genus and I'm afraid that would be a rather large giveaway.

That was what I meant, then, that in and of itself is a giveaway, but I have to find it in my Web history, have been researching NW cichlids lately...

Ok, I thought some one would have got it right away. Guess that nuchal disaster was throwin everybody off.

It's a run of the mill (albeit ugly) male Hypselecara temporalis. This one was photographed at the mystic aquarium in Connecticut. Yes, right by mystic pizza.
