Nimbochromis Venustus

[morleyz]

Does anyone know if there are other fish that look like n. venustus? I was at the LFS today, but the "important" people seemed to have taken the day off. The only on duty person called them "leopard cichlids", which I've never heard of. They look exactly like a venustus. I'm going to go back and talk to the owner tomorrow, but I've been wanting to add one to my 150, but hadn't been able to find one locally...but since you're all here, I thought I'd ask you first.

the H. Polystigma looks very similar to the venustus at a young age. Its a bit more spotted and i believe i've heard of them referred to as a hyena cichlid but not as leopard.
They're cool because they have interesting predatory behaviour.
