how big is it? i will check my LFS on saturday they have some which look the same as yours.

it is 3-4" but it is less than a year old so i am guessing it will get at least twice this size

Post it on the cichlidae.com forum.
It's a Cichlasoma sp., that's about all I know.

It's a Cichlasoma portalegrensis.
