I bought from a LFS what I thought was a green texas cichlid about 3 inches big in less then a month he has killed my firemouth and is now running my tank. He even has my 7 inch Oscar waiting to eat. I'm trying to figure out what type of fish it is so I can figure out how to deal with him. Sorry for the bad picture it was taken with my i phone.

Looks like a green texas to me..

What size is your tank? He will be pretty aggressive if you have him in a small tank.
 
Based on the pic provided, I'm guessing some sort of a flowerhorn.
 
looks like a flowerhorn .
 
I'll try and get a better picture later tonight when I'm home. I have him in a 55 gallon right now with my Oscar, Pleco and what I think it's another Hybred. I'm getting at least an 180 soon and will be moving the other fish soon if I don't choose to try and breed some wild caught oscars.
 
No the spots are a darker blue and it has a shorter body. The picture above looks like a green terror hybred. I'll try and post some flicks tonight.
