I'm really not sure on what this cichlid is. The store thought it was along the lines of a synspilum, but wasn't really sure. I just know that it has some gorgeous colors, and I couldn't pass it up at the store. So can you tell me what it is? It's about 3.5" in length, and the colors you see in these pics are actually a little muted from what it was in the store...

Looks like we have a winner! The fish in my pics definitely looks a lot like the ones that come up when I search that name.

How common are these guys? I've never seen one here in town before (never seen one before to be honest, but its not like I've ever looked for them).
 
Wow, going by fishbase.org, this guy is nearly full grown already! It says they max out around 4".
