Local store got him in one of their shipments and no one know what he is. Pretty sure he is one of the African varieties of cichlid but I am not to familiar with them. 20130521_151854[1].jpg

Female Kenyi or a light demasoni
 
The shape of his lips look demasoni to me. Thank you very much. I don't think this one would work to well with my Jewel.
 
Coloring looks kenyi female but stripes and body look demasoni to me. Could it be a stressed demasoni? How big is it?
 
Not that it will change your decision :cool: , but that is a Demasoni. Male demasoni's max out at 4".

Kenyi & demasoni stripe patterns and breadth are significantly different. (not to mention different mouth structure and other physical differences).
 
I think a stressed out demasoni too actually. I had one, about two inches the same color. He died just last night actually, so keep an eye on that one.
