Help figuring out name of block head looking cichlid!

[eklikewhoa]

So I ran across a picture of a block head looking cichlid a while back when I was heavily into tanganyikan cichlids but now that I have finally started a SA tank I want to look for it but can't for the life of me find it again.

The dome is not like the normal nuchal hump but more like the third picture here on JeffRapps page http://www.tangledupincichlids.com/

any help would be greatly appreciated!

G. balzanii was my first guess.

It's similar to the Gymnogeophagus balzanii but I don't recall it being that. I wanna say it was a darker colored cichlid.

So was it a geo, or something else?

I don't recall it being a geo or any type of earth eater.

But the way the nuchal hump is on that gymno was how it is on the other fish.

The only other block head cichlid I can think of is a breidohri but its a ca cichlid

I saw pictures of those and it's not it.

This fish was a flat faced fish like the gymno almost.

Someone recently posted a picture of chocolate cichlids from Jeff Rapps' website:

There have been a few nicaraguensis with block eads posted recently.
