Hello, I got this from lfs. They said it came in as Cuban but were told its something else. Definitely is aggressive especially at small size. Please disregard algae. Tank location is in horrible spot and gets too much sun but since looking to move soon moving tank is not on top of priority list. Thanks0312170941d.jpg 0312170941d.jpg 0312170941a.jpg
 
Not Nandopsis tetracanthus, but of course looks like one of the Parachromis, probably female managuense, or hybrid.
Here are some tetracanthus (cubans, in the parlance of our time)

female tetracanthus
male
 
Looks like a motaguense to me. Definitely a parachromis and not a managuense.
 
Definitely mota imo. Nice fish to keep in your collection
