I recently lost my first cichlid due to some ich while it was in the care of family as I was away for the weekend. I had it for only about a year and a half but it got me into the hobby and I grew very attached to it while it was with me. I'd like to get a new fish of the same species but haven't had much luck finding any info on the fish online. It was sold to me as a "Golden Firemouth" but I figured someone here would have a better idea of a more accurate name.

never heard of a golden firemouth but a firemouth is more precise as thats all i know but welcome to the forums youll learn tons here..also sorry for the loss we all relate.
 
It could be a thorichthys maculipinnis,thorichthys aureus or a thorichthys ellioti... nice thorichthys.
 
Thorichthys sp. "Rio Obispo Looks similar to your one. Sorry for your loss :(
 
"Golden firemouth" is one of the common names I've heard for T. ellioti/maculipinnis and your fish looks like my old Elliot's pair I used to have
