ID. Was told it was a jag. But I don't think so

I just bought this guy today. I've had this 30$ gift card from petco from forever. And bought this guy with it. He was super pale from stress when I bought him. And now that he has darkened up a bit I'm becoming confused.

Definitely not a jag,

H. cyanoguttatus or "Texas cichlid" Is my vote.

Texas cichlid aka Rio Grande Cichlid - Herichthys cyannomguttatum/s

Petco and Petsmart stopped carrying Jaguars several years ago from what I gather and since they tell people a 29g is ok for them, i'm GLAD they stopped selling them

Looks like a texas to me

I agree, its a Herichthys, and not of the genus Parachromis.

I'd agree with above. By the dark in the dorsal, I'm going to guess female as well.
