Pelvicachromis subocellatus?

Bingo! Now can anyone name the specific variety/locale?

By the way this species is to this day my favorite fish I have ever kept. My pride and joy if you will.

It's actually Pelvicachromis subocellatus 'Matadi'. That isn't my picture, but I did own a breeding pair of them a couple of years ago... sadly I sold off all of the juveniles and then my female died for some unknown reason. Thus I gave away the male and haven't been able to find any since. I have some pictures of mine somewhere on this computer.

 

[cyfan964]

Matadi?

You sir are the winner! Your turn to post a pic!

 

[Nymsley]

Yay

This one isn't mine but I wouldn't be opposed if it ended up in my tank. Its not as hard as cyfan's either.

Checkerboard Cichlid (Dicrossu filamentosa)

Close but look at the tail more closely.

I think yours is a bluefin killifish, Lucania goodei.

 

[cyfan964]

Close but look at the tail more closely.

Dicrossus maculatus

 

[Nymsley]

Dicrossus filamentosus has a lyre shaped tail while D. maculatus has a spade shaped tail for males.
