Hey, anyone able to ID THIS GUY?

 

[the barb]

A cichlid probably

 

[tommymacc]

Ha, I assumed that. What type?

 

[the barb]

Maybe electric blue idk

 

[the barb]

It's either cobalt blue zebra or blue electric jack dempsey

 

[the barb]

I think

 

[twiddlemuffin]

Not sure but maybe a juvi firemouth ?

Looks like a Herichthys to me. It appears to be a juvenile, so it may be tricky identifying it to species at this stage. The most common species in aquaria is the Texas cichlid (H. cyanoguttatus).

The other possibility is

Paraneetroplus. Regardless, I think it's a central American cichlid of some form. Perhaps you could repost in the cichlid section of this forum to get advice from an expert.

Thanks guys, looks like I'll have to wait a while and see how he develops. All the ones you suggested are similar but nothing conclusive.
