Definately Auloncara sp. I am no expert with the exact species though..

yer an aulonocara looks very young, to be coloring up.

You can't really tell size or age as far as color. It looks like a peacock, doesn't look like any Aulonacara I am familiar with though. Could be some other species or a hybrid. Looks like a female.

probably a hybrid peacock. might turn out attractive regardless of that, would keep it from breeding though (or cull any fry)
