Some type of Julidochromis, closest pattern is Dickfeldi

 

[Dr.tazz]

They were sold to me as Telmatochomis but did not give a species name. I know for a fact that they are not Julidochromis dickfeldi.

Definitely not a juli.
Don't remember if it is appropriate to mention other forums here, but ask at LakeTang.com. They specialize in Lake Tanganyikan fish. Several of us here are members there also.

T. bifrenatus, I believe...but they don't look right. Julie x Telmatochromis hybrids are also floating around.

Maybe T. Vittatus http://www.aquaportail.com/aquabdd/photos/telmatochromis-vittatus.jpg

I think it's a TXJ hybrid because of the face: should be rounded for Telmatochromis...and it's sharp like a Julie...
