Calvus or Comp?
Altolamprologus calvus
I got this guy a year or so ago and still cannot tell if he is a comp or a calvus.

Looks like a Black Calvus

I'd have to say a Black Compressiceps. the face is rather short for a calvus plus it has bars instead of spots.

Hey Jeff, don't Comp's start getting "humps" around 2"?

Its a comp. Stripes, not spots = Comp. A nice looking one as well.
