Does anyone know what species of fish this is in front of the redtail catfish. This picture was taken at the Toledo Zoo in the flooded forest tank of the aquarium.

I'm not entirely sure but could it be Melanochromis parallelus?

@Prochilodus246 Did you use Google Scan for that?

@Prochilodus246 It has the right body markings, but the fins and body shape don't convince me: plus a Malawi cichlid needs very different water conditions to that cat. But I'm sorry that I can't offer an alternative.
