Help ID this cichlid

[Jaysson]

Any kind soul can help ID this cichlid? Found it in a dark corner tank in my LFS and they mention it's a jaguar cichlid...

Looks like a young Freddy or maybe a motaguense?

Precisely, I was wondering when they said it's a jaguar and they don't even know this fish exist in their shop..

Probably just a good enough sounding name that came to the employee's mind.

Haha...

Loisellei

There's probablyat least 3 different species that look like that around 2"-4".

My guess is Freddy or Loisellei. But I can even tell those 2 apart when they are bigger without reading up on it

 

[Jaysson]

Thanks Reiner. I guess I gotta wait till they grow bigger before we could tell them apart...but definitely not a jaguar I assume..

 

[Reiner]

Yes not a Jag for sure

Yellow jacket (Freddy ) for sure, a red tiger male or female would show some red colouring even at that size I'd say.

I've loaded a photo of my large 8-10 inch Freddy
