Hey everyone. I went to PetSmart today to pick up supplies and I found this little guy in with the Red Devils and Green terrors. I normally don't buy fish from PetSmart, but I decided to get him anyway. (The lady working there charged me for a green terror)
Any Ideas on what kind of cichlid this is? My guess is that it is something from the Amphilophus species.

I want to say juvie barred midas, but something doesn't sit right with me on that...:headshake
 
Sure, I can try and get a better one. This pic is from right when I brought it home, so It might be a little stressed, therefore not showing its true colors.
 
I believe that the tell tale on Uro ID is that they have an eye spot on the tail with a thick white ring around it, where the RT has a thin white ring. Either way, this fish has no eye spot.
 
A red devil. (Midas/RD hybrid or.)
Definitely not a festae or uro.
