Please ID My Fish

[Rjgarcia]

I bought this juvenile about 2 months ago from a pet store that had it labeled as a Jaguar Cichlid (Parachromis Managuensis). As it gets bigger this color pattern has come out that does not resemble pics of other young Jags I have seen. Only the slope of his head resembles the species. Can someone please identify this fish for me? He is definitely feisty and an aggressive eater.

This is a salvini

Judging by the black in the dorsal your he is probably a she.
Female salvini

Yes, it is a Salvini. These are such pretty fish, I currently have one and need to get another.
