Recently I bought a medium size Firemouth. When he was at my LFS, he had his red belly. Since bringing him home, he hasn't displayed this color. I believe he's a male. He's in a 93g and is happy. Everything else is normal with him. Should I be worried? Anything I can do?

How long ago did you add him to the tank? He might just need a bit o time to get acclimated and adjust to his new surroundings.
From doing added research, I'm pretty sure he's a "Fake Firemouth Cichlid". I can't find any pictures though of this fish with the red belly of a Firemouth but he had the belly of a Firemouth in my LFS. Do FFMC's get red bellies? I'll get a picture soon but he's almost definitely a FFMC and not a FMC.
