James hard to tell. Could be a young borleyi.

Im having an awful time trying to ID it, but my god it wont sit still long enough to get a good shot.

Plus the orange anal fin and tail fin kinda throw it off of the borleyi?

May be a young yellow finned borleyi Male. Just has not changed colors.
Just a thought.

James popular vote on MFK's is red finned Borleyi which was my first thought.

Im having a hard time with this one to.

I believe it is of the Copadichromis species based on the jaw structure but Im not sold on Borleyi

Im sending Larry this way to help with this one

Looks like COpoadichromis borleyi,,,if it has a red anal fin then it would be from Kadango or Crocadile Rocks.
You can check out your possibilities here,in the profile section.
The fish pictured, IMO is not a good one of C.borleyi 'kadango'

Larry the only thing that is bugging me about that is the way the jaw slopes upwards.Maybe its just the way the pic looks.JR is that the female behind it on the 2nd pic
