Looks like a Haplochromis sp 44 "thickskin"

But the Hap.brownae and the........Hap.flameback "nyeri, destroyed pure genetic line now called Australian flameback strain",

have all been crossed with one another thus never garranteeing and unlikeliness of purity.

So if you hunt down all three mentioned you will see many that resemble what you have.

With these Hap species the only guarantee is through reputable trustworthy breeders and suppliers.

Never breed and pass out fry on a guess of what they are as it only makes the problem worse.

Have they or are they in australia?

I do agree on the victorian problem.

To me it looks like a sub flameback or some varient (badline or hybrid),

Years ago you could walk into any shop and they would have tons of them that no one wanted. They can be agressive, bossy and will breed with just anything that it can breed with.

I have had some nice Nyerere in the past. Pics dont really do the fish justice but its all I have of him now.
