Anyone able to ID this bigbox mis-label?

[RyanM]

Just saw these at lunch and did a double take thinking they were rheoheros lentiginosus. In a tank with some actual red devils for $6.98, no other tags on the tank. Just looked at some pictures of juvi lents and and not sure. If not Lents what are they?

there are quite a lot of CA cichlids that look similar to that, I would say wait a month or two and get an ID when they have some size to them

8-10 of them ain't gonna last a month in a 12x12x12 cube with several red devils.

They don't look like lents to me.I keep lents and they never looked like that.

I didn't quite think so (too good to be true), but the longer more torpedo shape didn't look like anything else I could think of.

Thats the only picture I got, i am going to go back tomorrow and look again. I can't think of anything SA that has that shape so I am thinking CA, but outside of the Rheoheros I cant think of anything with that longer torpedo shape. This is really bugging me lol!

They almost look like young rainbow cichlids from the coloration.

If I had to guess,they look like young nicaraguense to me.Cant be sure without clearer picture though.
