Labeotropheus trewavasae

Sonia got me into these guys about 2 years ago when we bought this fish:
l.trewavasae_hakone.jpg

This is a very interesting species.  They are Mbuna from Lake Malawi.  Their rounded, underslung "noses" are specially adapted mouthparts that they use to scrape algae and microorganisms off of the surface of rocks.
