What is this guy?

[LogiBear]

Picked him up at the LFS a week or so ago.

Nonpic until now as he has been very stressed out. The big guy was chasing him a lot, as to be expected, but damage was only a few missing scales and the like, which is good.

I bought him because i really liked his colors, he had a lot of reds and blues. He is stressed now so he kind of lost it, but im hoping that if i can figure out what it is then i will decide which fish i like better and just keep one of them.

Anyway, ive put in a pic while he was normally in the tank and another under the light outside the tank so his colors are shown off more.

Sorry for my garbage iPad camera (and my photography skills, in all honesty)

Yeah it looks like a tailbar cichlid, but very hard too tell at the moment, give him/her a few more days

My first though was Breidhori but after i looked into it i thought of Hartwehi too.

Im not sure about the settling down... I want to get them IDed so i can see if i want to keep one of them, becuase at the moment he is at risk of being brutalized by the big guy...

If possible try to ID off these but i will put up more pics in a couple days as well.

So ive dug into it a bit more and ive found a few photos thet looked very very similiar to when it was in the LFS.

This is not my photo. Caption underneath said it was from Tropquatics...


So if this seems like a Hartwegi to you (it says so under the photo) then for now i will satisfy my curiosity with calling it a Hartwegi because they look so similiar. Only real differnce was mine was a paler red and the blue extended down a bit further. Very similar though.
