Looks like a "black shark" not sure what the scientific or other common names may be but I'm just guessing from what I've seen in LFS

Interesting looking fish.The dorsal fins lead me away from a shark of any kind though..

Wow cool looking fish. Never seen anything like it. Kind of looks like a black moor goldfish/cichla hybrid ahaha

I would've guessed some sort of perch. Dorsal fins are reminiscent of a snook(not the cichlid snook). By the way how's the Siniperca search going any luck?

Looks like Lates stappersii, the sleek Lates or Buka Buka from Lake Tanganyika.
