    Question Mystery Cichlid

    I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I bought a cichlid at my local aquarium shop, but it is closed for a week and I can't remember what type of fish it was. It was about three inches long when I bought it, mostly silver with a little bit of blue tint, it has red tipped fins, and a black spot right behind both of its eyes. It is shaped like the average cichlid is. Not very long, but not wide or tall like an oscar. Any ideas? Thanks.

    A picture of your fish would be very helpful.

    I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
    Smaug, you're here a lot just to say it's a waste of your time, poor baby, I bet you don't even know how big a loser you are, and how much we laugh at you and your foolish attempt to give your life meaning. Quit drinking, get a life, go take care of your family, grow up!

    Yes, Green Terror does look similar but the spot behind its eye is closer to its eye, it is still small though. I tried to take a picture but they are still nervous about big things outside the tank, so they always are hiding when I come into the room. Thanks for all your help.
