Thanx for the reply Shawnie. I'll take a look at the sites to see what I can find.

From the body shape and the cute little mouth, I'd say it's a tropheus brichardi (chichlid). I'm definitely not a chichlid expert though. Pretty fish, either way!

Thanx for the compliment. He looks like a little old man with no teeth; I call him grandpa.
