yea, another "what fish is this" thread, lol. My lfs has it and they weren't sure what it is either. I am not having much luck finding it online anywhere so I figured I would ask on here. I know it's some sort of cichlid, but other than that I'm lost.

ps. sorry the pics aren't that great, i took them with my cell phone....its all i had at the time. As you can see he has a spot or two on him and a protruding chin......... also I want to note that he has some bluish shine to him in some areas......hard to notice in the pics.

It almost looks like an albino jewel cichlid!

it is maybe 2-3 inches total......I was thinking of getting it, but wanted an idea of what it was first, lol. Since I added a yellow lab to my tank I have had to get rid of all the smaller less aggressive fish in it. Now I have the lab and some large gouramis and an asian upside-down catfish.........been looking for something else to add..........also may sell some or all of the gouramis.........depending on what other fish i get for the tank........

when i seen that fish the first thing i thought of was jewel cichlid, but it is obviously too light for a regular jewel........wasnt sure if their was an albino type..............are albino jewels hard to find?

it doesnt have the spotting like that, and the bottom jaw sticks out more than the texas cichlid..........
