Definitely not a Venustus, colors are completely off.BKeen;5070893; said:
EDIT: Any more shots? Might help a little, as right now I'm kind of stumped, lol.

Ok.. I said "Probably Nimbochromis sp." in order to be a bit polite..
Let me rephrase that to say "Definitely Nimbochromis sp."
It's a bit washed out and hence exact species (within the Nimbochromis genus) can't be IDed properly. I don't think it a Venustus. It may be some other species in that group or a hybrid.
Also, please post in the African Cichlid side of the forum for more input.
Cheers,

TY!
Tough one... I want to say hybrid, only because the only species of Nimbochromis I know that seems to have the white line on top of its head is Nimbochromis Fuscotaeniatus, however the rest of the coloring and body shape seems off...Could be wrong, lol, I can always be wrong, but I'm just putting out what I've noticed.

It's a light yellow stripe but similar body color to a GT.
