What fish is this?

[Muzza]

I recently brought some Kigoma Frontosa's and was given this fish but am unsure of what it is as he couldn't remember. I believe it's a female from lake tanganyikans. Can anyone help me please?

Could it be a geophagus species?

That's a Shellie!
A Brevis or Neolamprolugus IMO.

That's more what it looks like CB

Going off the Search I just done the females only grow to 2 1/2 inches this one is at 5 inches.

Def not a brevis, it might be a caudopunctus, but I don't think so

Any better pictures? Seeing head shape can help

I've been looking at cichlids all day so maybe I've just got them on my mind but try to compare it to pictures of the yellow peacock cichlid (Aulonocara sp.).

It's a shellie for sure
