Nope not a P.p.palmas or even any of the palmas complex. Looks like a P. weeksii (weeks-ee-eye) to me-Anne
 
ya i thought weeksii as soon as i saw that. still a nice fish, get to 18" max, although shy from what i hear of them.
 
i concur, no doubt P. weeksii. one of its characteristics is the big, round head, and as a result can swallow surprisingly large fish relative of its own size.
 
gabautista, I went there today after work. They had lapradei, regular senegals, albino senegal, ornates, and apparently I just found out they had Weeksii.:swear: If you want this weeksii I'll let you have it for $35. I paid $40 at the store.

I was trying to figure out what the big fat one was and it's possible it's a congicus.
