Please Help ID what I just bought

[PufferFreak88]

So I went to Tong Tropical Today and bought this little guy for $12.98 with tax is about $15. I've asked the employee at the store and it seemed like no one had a clue what type of cichlid it is therefore the guy give me for a price of $12.98. Can anyone please help me ID this fish and tell me if wheter its a female or a male? I'm trying to breed it with my male Thai Silk Flowerhorn.

Yeah, Looks like another slightly "red" tinted red texas. Rarely they will peel into real red tex, but this one has some decent color coming through.
Looks like a Cyanoguttatus crossed with something. My guess would be blood parrot. That would explain the syn traits.

i bought a "black belt" a few months ago that is starting to look identical to this.
