the guy at the pet store was pretty cool and directed me towards this fish. He said it is a Johannes Cichlid from Africa, but that was about all I got from him. I have tried finding out for certain what this is, but I'm sure someone here will help give me positive ID. he's only about 2 inches as of now, and I got him for cheap. Thanks in advance!
Please Help ID This Cichlid

upon googling/doing some research, i believe it to be a johanni since it was in a tank with yellow/gold colored females of similar size. plus, the guy that sold them to me said they were johanni. it kinda makes sense to me
The stripes on the fish are to crisp for johanni. Most johanni have breaking in the bars as if vertical bars are running through it. I believe that straitjacketstar was correct.
Often many other fish are confused with johanni. Also with the small size of this fish it should not be showing male coloration if it was a johanni. It would be showing barring but would be yellowish still.
