Buccochromis heterotaenia?

Not a buccochromis species, much more peaceful almost wimpy.

The black stripe and the gilplate say Taenilithrinops. But the shape of the head looks different...

Getting closer. I will say this pic was taken shortly after being put in the tank so the coloring isn't the best.

Last try for to today: Lithrinops marginatus.
L. ocelatus is dam rare (at least at my place), the whole L. kande group has the black stripe more in the middel. Same goes for L. letrinus. So L. marginatus seems to be left.

I'll give it to you, lethrinops oculatus is the correct answer. Cichlid express had them about a year ago.

You got it.
I would have also accepted T. dhonti.
