New fish - Chaca bankanensis

[Honda12]

Picked up a new fish at my LFS today. Stupid people had it in with africans so it is a little tore up but it should heal up nicely. Also they had it labeled as $15 but they rang it up as $5 and I got some other stuff and I didn't notice till I got home later, so I am pretty happy. It ate two chocolate cichlids so, it has a good appetite.

I'll post pics of it in the tank tomorrow.
