Anyone know a scientific name for these? Also, looking for a picture of an adult.

Its an electric Blue JAck Dempsey..
 
Nandopsis octofasciatus
 
That is a beautiful fish. How much do juvis usually go for?
 
This one might be more accurate to what yours will look like.

according to Juan Miguel's site it is Archocentrus octofasciatus. I've seen juvies sell for as little as $35 ea. and as much as $75 ea. at different lfs. Rapps sells juvies for $25 but then you have to pay shipping of course. :)
 
A little too high priced for me...but maybe in the future. It certainly is worth the money if it turns out like that first picture...
 
I traded in 2 Pseudotropheus socolofi @ 2 inches and a common pleco @ 8 inches for one of these Electric Blue JD.

But I still have to pay 20 dollar to LFS.
Because they are selling at 45 dollar( only 1~1.5 inches ).
