When I bought this pair of juvenile cichlids, I was told they were laetacara thayeri, but after some research, I'm almost positive the got mislabeled and are actually acaronia nassa, aka the big eyed cichlid :/ what do you all think? I had my doubts when I first got them, and the LFS I got them from is quite credible, however I think a mistake was made :(

Note the festivum-like fins below the pectorals as well as the single rear dot and dot below the eye, also the shape of the head
