I was not planning on getting any new fish today but, I ran in to the LFS to grab some dog food and came home with a few. Anyway, long story short the fish were brought in by a customer of the store who was taking down their tank. As usuall they had too many big fish in a small tank. I did not have to pay for the fish as the LFS only had room for a few and has a free adoption policy. I took home a 5" green terror, couple of cons, a nimbochromis polystigma (yeah I know it is an African), and this one which is the one I need an ID for:

The fish is about 8" and is MEAN! I know the person who brought them in was not very bright mixing all types of fish together in a small tank but the fish look ok. BTW, the fish I did not take were a large 10"+ J.D., a smaller 5" J.D., and a couple of other Africans. They are available for adoption at the LFS. If you are local and need info about the LFS PM me.
 
Oh yeah, here is a pic of the nimbochromis. If you are local and are interested it will need a new home. I just happened to have the space and the LFS did not. He is a 7"+ beast!
