I would like to know what this fish is as I bought it from walmart a few months ago and it has "blown up". I would like to know how big this SOB is gonna get. It has already killed about everything smaller than it gradually. Thanks for the help...

wow i would love to get something like that from walmart..what a beauty.
 
looks to be so and they get huge
 
I don't think it is a hap macrostoma but from the first pic the face looks simmilar I think That is a hap rostratus .I my self just got one they can get to 14-16 inches.

its either a fossorochromis rostratus or a hemichromis elongatus. im leanin towards the fossorochromis rostratus.
 
It is a rostratus, I recently aquired six of them. FYI, they have been reclassified as fossochromis rostratus
 
Thanks a lot. My local walmart gets all kinds of unusual fish in. I try to be there when the fish guy drops them off so they never get into that nasty *** walmart water. A few more of my wally world pickups...
