Just trying to figure out what I have and what to do next. The "assorted cichlid sale" is my worst enemy and I now know my lesson. Please help me with this juvinile 2" guy. My apologies for the quality. It was hard to get a good photo of him staying still in my 100 gallon.

"It's blue and has stripes, it must be a Kenyi!" SMH

The over all body, head and mouth structure does not resemble an mbuna in anyway. Also mbuna don't get the iridescent coloring on the head, that's normally a trait reserved to open water species such as haps and peacocks.

To me it looks like a young possibly male Copadichromis azureus. My reasoning is the fin shape, blue iridescent coloring on the head and the 3 black dots along the side.
