first I hope I'm posting in correct location.

I went to LFS today and was looking for a replacement SA/CA cichlid. Came across a tank holding a "blackbelt" cichlid.

I'm curious to see if you would agree that this is a Blackbelt or something else? I came across a similiar looking Vieja which may be a closer match.. here are the pics. The fish is about 5inchs or so. I assume that he's got some more maturing to do cause right now he's kinda fugly.

does look like a maculinda to me, well idk kinda looks hybrid hard to sell from those pics definatley have maculinda in it tho
 
i dno im seeing argentea in that.
but dont take that as acurate as ive never seen a young one....
could just be a hybrid?

looks like it could be V. Argentea and black-belt ?
