lighting is kinda poor but I'd say its some kind of geo

 

[fishman09]

astatheros something??

 

[ryansmith83]

I thought it looked more Astatheros than Geo. The horizontal black line is not something you see on Geos.

 

[C L O W N K N I F E]

Ya, astatheros is definitely a possibility also...maybe its a astatheros robertsoni?

 

[smokeythebair]

I know its not, but it almost looks like it has firemouth in it. I know there is no red belly im just saying body.

They're Amphilophus altifrons. Nice fish, you don't see them often.

thanks modest man i picked it up for $20 as an unlabeled cichlid

Def a. Altifrons. Nice looking one too.

definitely astotheros. Could be altifrons as many suggested. Could also be rostratus with stress markings.
