What is this guy? Similar in coloration to my Malawi Eyebiter, but totally different body shape...

I'm guessing either a young male or a female of some species. It would be extremely difficult to say with certainty based just on that pic.
 
If this is the one I remember the comments on when he was sold to me, he said he was 95% sure it was male, and "in about 6 months you'll really thank me for this one", but I can't remember what he called it... I might see if there is a way I can get ahold of the guy at the shop and e-mail him the pic...

Looks like a male red empress but I could be wrong and not sure on tech name

Did he vent the fish? How could he say something like that.

No clue, I was just going with it. Told him I wanted an all-male tank. Everything else I have he was 100% sure were male, as they were all coloring up, this one he was "95% sure"...

I have no clue how to vent them myself...
 
Was looking at some photos today on a site selling cichlids... Any chance this guy could be a juvenile Ivory Head Mloto or Malwai Hawk?

He's slightly larger now, but coloration basically the same...
