Above: Buccochromis rhoadesii. Photo copyright © by M. K. Oliver. Among the obliquely striped "haps" of Lake Malawi, this predatory, fish-eating species is most distinctive for its deep head (from top to bottom), with a very wide preorbital depth between the eye and the mouth. Photos by Frank Panis of a brightly colored male are available at Malawi Cichlid Homepage.
