i bought this Cichlid a while ago and with my research i have come to the conclusion that it is a Cynotalipa Afra but beyond that i am lost. i know there are may varieties of Cynotalipa Afra and some are obviously out of the question such as a Hai Reef or a COBUE. but i would really appreciate a species name!!! thanks everyone!

Looks like a Pseudotropheus Demasoni

Could also be a Metriaclima sp. "blue dolphin"

i know it is not that because it has the "dog teeth" which the Pseudotropheus Demasoni does not have. believe me that was my first thought too!!!

the closest thing i can find to what mine looks like is the Cynotalipa Afra "red top" or "white top"...what do you guys think?
