definitely a tomocichla/talamancaheros species... rare find at an LFS especially at that size, nice pick up

Wow, yeah that's a great deal. How is aggression? If he is a sieboldii, I've heard they are pretty damn mean
I have it in my 125 with my FH, 2 green terrors, a few jouvie convicts, some geos, and a handful of other jouvie cichlids. My tank is surprisingly mellow for all the notorious bullies in it and my FH is definitely trying to dominate the new guy, so far just chasing no lip locking or biting. The sieboldii hasn't initiated anything yet, just hanging out on the opposite end of the flowerhorn haha
Tank itself isn't that pretty yet, still waiting to find the perfect piece of driftwood lol but here's a couple snaps of my fish
Someone mentioned hartwegi, and I would think that is also a definite possibility.
They have a bit of an overbite which the OPs last photo shows
, and are very variable in coloration. I edited the photo a bit to focus on the overbite (a distinct feature of hartwegi).

Love your green terrors ! Awesome flowerhorn I'm surprised it hasn't owned the whole tank to himself
I hear that a lot about flowerhorns! I got him at maybe 2 inches and he's grown up with most the fish in it so maybe that's why he's so friendly? He even lets me pet him and does little flips to get me to feed him! Love him
