What is this Cichlid?

[squirrilah fish]

My wife got me this fish yesterday, it was in a tank of Nicaraguense Cichlid “macaw” Cichlid, but I’m not 100% on it. It’s about 2” right now https://youtu.be/m3IkHuN-nVw

Flower horn???

God, I hope not. It wasn’t one listed in that tank, according to my wife.

It’s so tough, all these new world Cichlids look so similar when they’re tiny.

So I called the store, and asked what other fish were in that tank. And he tells me rainbow Cichlids, Red Devils, Fasciatus, and the user to have Nicaraguanese,

I said, did you used to have any others, and he goes

“I think we used to have some Kamfa in here”

****it. Well I’m taking this guy back. I do not have the space nor desire to keep a FH, thanks Brookster

Yah.. they're an acquired taste.

IMO, looks like a juvenile Red Dragon FH.

I just don’t have a big enough tank for one. I think they’re too big for a 75 With tank mates

And a fh is too big for tank mates period. Usually, lol
