I found two of these guys in the feeder tank at walmart and the guy who worked there didn't know any better so he sold them to me for 28 cents. What are they, i put them in a 20 long with some small sunfish and other natives, i will put them in my 55 when they get bigger.

Did you say feeders?........Sig!

Seriously though, it does appear to be a hybrid of some sort, basically a dragon blood, strawberry peacock to list a couple of the common names.

same thing im thinking. is it just easier to get pictures in your hand besides in the tank?
 
yes, the pics don't come out very well when taken in the tank, they keep hiding
 
Nice pick up......Agreed, Peacock.....That fish would be priced at about $8 here.
