Help identifying this cichlid

[mwilson]

I was in the LFS the other day and someone had traded in what looked like there entire cichlid tank. The fish was in the tank w/ a red devil and a breeding pair of convicts. They where just hammering him. He's very beaten up, so they gave him to me. I thought I would try and rehab him. Any ideas as to what he is. Thanks

He/she looks bad, how's it doing? Eating at all?

Yeah i know its a bad pic. I've put it in a 30 and seems to be doing ok. Swimming around a good bit but still shy. I havn't seen any eating yet, hopefully though in the next few days it will. I was suprised it made the trip home alive!

Kind of looks like a flowerhorn. You can almost see it's flower line, but it's hard to tell with that photo.
