Please help with ID cool mystery fish

[tcarswell]

I got this guy as a customer was about to give him to petco. He gave him to me free. He had to give up his aquarium (House repo etc) and equipment (He gave it all away too bad I did not meet him sooner) Any ways he gave me this sweet malawi looking cichlid? for free.

Anyone ID him please?
THanks ,

Im speaking of the one with the giant mouth and the yellow and black stripes front to back. Also the only fish visible in second pic. Thanks in advance guys!

I agree with the black calvus... although he looks a little rough.

Lucky for you, you got a free calvus. They're ridiculously expensive here.

 

[crenipterus svenagalus]

Kick ass fish man! Nice freebie! I would like to set up a tank for some someday. Good luck man!

 

[Tehkummah]

Yes without a doubt it is a lamprologus calvus and your very luck to get them.
Enjoy and GET FISH HIGH

possibly yellow calvus but definitely calvus

 

[crenipterus svenagalus]

Nah. It is for sure a black.
