This oblique-striped species is probably Buccochromis
oculatus. The large eye and body shape are fairly distinctive. The
colorful male and the female (which shows the stripe clearly) were both
photographed by Erwin Schraml at Verduijn Cichlids, an importer's store
in Zevenhuizen, Netherlands. Thank you, Erwin, for permitting your photos
to be displayed here! Be sure to visit Erwin's
World of
Fishes online magazine.
