It looks like a Pseudotropheus Acei. This is a great African Cichlid (Mbuna) from lake Malawi.

 

[YoFishboy]

I agree - I think its an acei too

 

[sman91wing]

heh heh, that almost looks like a pulcher

 

[sman91wing]

Ok, took a good look at it again, and I'm pretty sure its a pulcher. Neolamprologus Pulcher sound familiar? Or Daffodil? Or Brichardi

 

[YoFishboy]

I'm sticken with P. acei - here's a link with pics - http://www.saijoto.dk/english/Cichlider_English/Pseudo/Acei_English.htm - looks pretty dead on

 

[sman91wing]

Dead on, hardly. Similarities? Yeah. The bluish white outlining of the fins, the blue and yellow around the eyes, the dark spot behind the pectoral fin... all point to pulcher.

Neolamprologus pulcher? After looking at profiles and pics over at
Cichlid-forums I have to agree and would say Isanga or Chituta as most likely looking. Neolamprologus brichardi, perhaps Kapampa?...
This fish ID game is fun , if I was really into Africans it'd be a blast....

 

[~*LuvMyKribs*~]

Yeah the purple and yellow coloring have to be about the only thing on that fish that indicates acei.

It didnt look like one to me at first... and looking more i see that it might be some sort of pulcher. Im no expert on Tangs so i cant hazard a guess... but remember could be a hybrid as well.

A better side-profile shot would help
