is this a red convict? found it on another fish site. i've heard of pick convicts, but not red...either way, looks awsome...i need to get one of these for my cic tank...

looks like a festae to me, but I suck at Identification.
 
i agree, it is a festae.
 
i though red terrors had square heads...but now that you mention it, it does kinda look like one...stripe patten near the head reminds me of a convict though. either way, beautiful fish
 
parapetenia festae
 
yes, that is a female festae, and in the bottom left hand corner is a male festae. most sites still list this species as Amphilophus festae, the genus Parapetenia is no longer used. :)

this is a very aggressive, large growing species that requires a large tank. be sure to do lots of research on this species if you decide you want to get one. :)
