What is this?

[KurseD]

my most recent purchase, labeled as a red-head cichlid. but it doesn't really look like any of the pics i've found on the net. looks more like a severum when it's fins are erect. is it a red-head??? also, one of his eyes is kinda cloudy, any idea what kinda infection that is?

Can you get a smaller, better pic? Very hard to tell properly...but it looks like a convict to me.

most definetly not a convict, theres one right beside it though. i'll take some clearer pics today and post them though. when he's stressed he looses almost all his stripes. not sure why the pic turned out so big, i'll try to redo...

Kursed, your pics were bitmps, before uploading resize to about 600x400 pixels, (I resized the ones above to a bit to small, 400x300 pixels) also after resizing the pics save as jpeg file not bitmp. Same picture but a much smaller file size.
