Is this an emperor cichlid?
so i went into my lfs today and saw two of these little guys in with the assorted africans. they were the smallest but were very active and swimming on the glass. i thought they looked like emperors but i had never seen one in person, so i asked the owner. he said they were five star generals.
they were $15 so i i figured id buy one then if you guys confirm it buy the second and maybe a couple more if he gets anymore in.
mine is about 2.5 inches, ate like a horse within 10 minutes of release and colored up very fast too.
