Well I went into the LFS and looked around and spotted an unusual looking fish. Its about 2-3 inches long and has a hump starting to form on its head. It was in with Parrots and Convicts. Asked the employee what it was and they said pink convict. I swear it doesnt look like any convict I have ever seen, but maybe Im wrong? Help me identify this thing. With the hump forming when the fish is so small I thought about throwing it in the pond so I can see what it looks like when it grows up..

Pics are crappy because all I had was a camera phone..

i was going to say parrot x con but i didnt know it was called a jellybean
 
wow out of all the reading Ive done on here and browsing all over the net, never had heard of a jellybean LOL

Do they stay around this size?
 
jellybean, often they will be dyed colors. recently there is a push to get them in their non dyed form, to get people to see how beautiful they are...

just what i found out when I started keeping fish and got some...
