Can someone ID this 'stray' Cichlid

Can anyone ID this Cichlid?

I received it from a customer at the Pet Store I work at...she just told me it wasn't getting along with her scat and was being very aggressive towards it. I told her I'd take it instead of her killin it. Any ideas? It's about...4 inches long, and it's colors aren't normally that bright but that I used the flash on the Camera.

Same size/body type as a keyhole, but I can't be sure (there's so many varieties :p ).

Oh, I meant to post this in the Cichlid section, (I thought I was there.) If a mod wants to move it go ahead.

looks to me like a mix between a Keyhole, a Blue Acara, or a Green Terror... can you give me some more info on this fish so I can DIRECTLY identify it?:)

[Rocketman]

I've only had him about a week and only been home for a few of those hours. But he is probably 4 inches long, much longer than he is tall. He is only in a 10 Gallon, (as Quarinten and until I find out if I can keep him or not,) but he doesn't seem very active or interested in food; like I said that could be from the tank size though. He was also roughing up that Scat that belonged to his previous owner. Other than that, what else do you want to know.

myt B a Keyhole... i'm not sure though:confused:

Looks like a Rainbow Cichlid(Herotilapia multispinosa) to me.

I'd go with H. multispinosa as well.

It's definately not a keyhole, blue acara, or green terror.

salvini?

[stoopid]

Agree, it's definitely a veriety of rainbow.

[demon_surfer]

not a salvini they are usually bright yellow

ill agree with rainbow. google the scientific name and look through the images you can find some picks of the rainbows that are showing closer colour to yours than those ones

This fish is a definite match.

compare that to my picture. Look carefully at the stripes, vertical and horizontal, the blue trim on the fins, (dorsal especially,) and the horizontal stripes above the eyes.

Thanks all. The lady who's fish it was visits every Saturday, (as I've always worked 12-7 Sat.) and I'll tell her....anyone with personal experience with the fish?
