Thanks ewurm..some people called Obliquedens but from what i read about Obliquedens they are extinct and no one has them in captivity.. i could be wrong but that is what info i have been getting..

Either Astatitlapia Latifasciata of Haplochromis sp 44. (I beleive these are called the Thick skin) I am going to lean towards the haplochromis though.
