I want to say it's a Pseudotropheus species, maybe the 'minutus' or some other Pseudotropheus species but it's hard to tell because of the mouth being open like that, I can't make an ID as most IDs are made 50 percent due to the shape of the snout and mouth at least when it comes to what species.

The only reason I am even guessing it's the 'minutus' breed is because of the broken stripe up in the dorsal fin, however in the minutus it's usually broken then connected at the very top.

Is the fish full grown? If so, how long is it? I know there are others that could probably ID it but if you could put up another picture of it, it might help me out more. A pic of the fish with it's mouth closed and not blurry would be helpful.

Thanks

Ok here is what I found that resembles your fish,


Labidochromis sp. "blue bar" This one looks just like your fish.


Could also be a Pseudotropheus perspicax

Try doing an image search on google to see if these two fish match yours.

Sorry, it's the best I could do with my book.
