I was in a store today and they had a small cichlid called a Gonduss cichlid.I wasnt able to get a picture of it but it looked just like a young Grammodes but I never heard that name before.

Yeah but most people wouldn't be able to say the names... Plus the scientific name isn't "cute".....

While I agree with you, it's tough to blame the LFS's. When our fish order comes in most everything is labeled (and mislabeled) in common names. We post names and prices per what the distributor called them. Until I get there to try to identify them. I can tell you that it is really difficult without being an expert(which I am not) to tell many of the baby cichlids apart.
