Some type of Protomelas species. It's tough for me to ID 100% since it is still juvenile in coloration. I'm leaning towards a Red Empress even though the barring isn't quite right. The other possibility I can think of is Protomelas Insignis/ Protomelas "spilonotus tanzania". The latter fish goes by both those names in the trade. Hope that helps some.

Thanks for the replies. I'm still not quite sure what it is bit I'm kind of leaning toward the spilonotus Tanzania because after googling them it looks the closest in color although it could be a hybrid. I'm thinking it might be male though because it is gaining more yellow-orange color on the underside and more metallic blue on the face and body. Most of the females I saw of these species looked almost solid grey.
