What cichlid is this? The shopkeeper sold it me saying its a nandopsis haitiensis and I some how doubt it. If it's not nandopsis haitiensis then what cichlid is this?

No definitely not Nandopsis. It's a Vieja sp., I'm not the guy to tell you which species though.

Am beginning to think it's a chocolate cichlid.

 

[the animal guy]

Vieja Fenestratus. Might be the pink fenestratus

 

[ehh]

Some kind of vieja cichlid.

Well I can tell you for sure it is neither a chocolate cichlid nor a Nandopsis... My first thought is Vieja fenestratus, as the animal guy suggested.
