Update #12 June 13, 2010
Been awhile since the last rescue, and today I just picked up a few more.
There are two, the first is a Frontosa Cichlid, the original owner did not want him due to his "pug like" face. He is about 2", and is now in the 50-Gallon Breeder tank with the other Cichlids. Very shy, but I managed to snap a few pics of him before I released him into the tank.
The second is a White Top Hara, and came from the same person not wanting him because he has a deformed spine, and cannot be used for breeding purposes. It is also about 2", and is also in the same tank as the Frontosa. Found a spot under the filter to claim as his territory, lol. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a pic of him yet, but I will try again!
Great guy, has a bunch of different tanks with Cichlids (Apistos, Peacocks, Calvus, etc.), Plecos and other Catfish, and Angel fish. He is a breeder, and has a bunch of Eureka Red Peacock Cichlid fry, and gave me a few just for taking the other two. Should be about six or so, at least two males. 1/4"-1"
Forgot to post pics of the White Top Hara rescue. He is now in a 60-Gallon.

lol, it should be. I know the pics are not the best, so it may be hard to tell. I'll try to get some new ones of him actually settled in the tank in a bit. Just turned on the light. ;)
Care to explain what you think it is?
 
Yeah looks like a mbuna.. frontosa look like zebra tilpia

Deformed mbuna.
Is this the confusion? The pics shown on this page are of a White Top Hara, and yes, he is deformed, and because of his deformity, he could not breed. Which is why I was asked to take him. ;)
The Frontosa was from the same place, but in a different set of pics. Like I said though, I'll post a few new ones in a bit. ;)
 
Oh. Ha ha. Guilty of not reading entire thread. *self slap*
