Fish ID please!

Saw this guy at my LFS. They did not know what it was either. Someone had donated him. They said he is aggressive and "some type of cichlid, maybe a hybrid."

Looks like it might be a scat and they need brackish water.

+1 to the above,

cichlid LFS in my area has these, i think one of the sexes (m/f) has a more color to it, but they have it in their brackish set up.
it's actually in a species only tank for what they sell too (due to aggression?)

look up scatophagus argus

Thanks guys. That is definitely what he looks like. I'll call the lfs tomorrow and tell them to get him in a brackish tank.

He's really pretty... Definitely a scat. My LFS has them now and then, and keeps them in a nice brakish water sale tank. I've never seen them pick on the other brakish fish in there, though.

That one looks like he has ich. Might want to let them know.
