Tyrannochromis macrostoma has a much larger head then a fusco.
the head should take up 3/4 of the total body lenght.
the mouth also is different: the part of the mouth that moves in the upper jaw (can't remember the proper term) is situated between the eyes where as most other cishlid including the fusco, it is situated between the end of the nose and the eyes.
hope this helps

You don't really mean 3/4 do you?
