its prly a livingstoni from the looks it could be crossed with something
I think I know, but....
Not sure what this one is. I, regretably when I got in this hobby, chose from 'mixed african cichlid' tank at the LFS. When I got this one, along with two others, they were about 1" and had a gray/brown marble color to them. Well, about two years into it, they grew to about 4", which is fine for the rest of my tank, everyone is getting along. Then this one shot out to 8" and went on to devour the rest of my tank. Only a few are left

I think I have narrowed it down to the Nimbochromis family, but can't zero in on anything more specific. I might be wrong all together.
It just amazes me that the two others that I bought with him never grew past 4" and this one is destroying my tank. He doesn't even have the marbling anymore so he just looks like a boring freshwater fish.
As well, if anyone wants him....he's all yours. He's about 3 years old.
I really want to clear out my 'starter' tank and go into a species tank. I can't outright kill them (or even let the water quality go), but I am really tired of this bully.
