Altolamprologus compressiceps
Altolamps are probably some of my favorite fish. This guy is probably 4.5" now.

Love the mouths on these guys...Always wanted them just very pricey around here (if you can ever find them) Last ones I seen were about 7-8 mos back and they wanted $75 for 1 inchers ....
He's about full grown isn't he?

I agree sm, they are very pricey. I got him and the calvus about 3yrs back when they were fairly small (2") for about $30 each. The last time my LFS had adults they want $79.99 for one.
I think he will stop growing now, but I do have another one that is about 5". I'm currently growing out 3 black calvus and 2 gold compressiceps in a 55g. They are such slow growers, but are well worth the wait.

I always heard they were slow growers...One day I'd love to have a tank with a few in it. they are def in my top 3 of favorite fish.

The slowest growing cichlid I know of. $75 for 1"ers is outrageous, should be around 15-20 max. However they are a mint fish. The gold faced variety is prob one of the nicest.
