So today when I walked into my local Petco, and I had one of the workers that knew me walk up to me and say that she had a fish that they needed to get rid of. So she brought me over to a tank with some Oscars and JD, and under one of the rocks you could see a little blue fish. They had no idea what it was, and said that it had come with the Oscars and JD's, and they needed to get rid of it because the Oscars were attempting to eat it. And of course I took him home. He's only 1/2" possibly 1", and blue. I think that it looks like a Cobalt Blue Zebra Cichlid, Maylandia callainos.
Any ideas?

Glad to hear that someone agrees on the ID.

I'm sorry, but I am unfamiliar with the name "Chocolate Zebra".
He is currently in a 10-Gallon, then I plan to move him into the 60-Gallon, or a newly setup 55 that I will be getting in a few days. But at his size, it could be awhile yet.

terribly sorry. i cant think straight at the moment. i meant cobalt zebra.
if thats the case, use the 55 as an african tank and the 10 as a growout for him.
 
Coper Zebra!

lol, no problem.
I'm hoping that he gets along with the African Hybrid Cichlid when he gets larger.
