Hi all,
Trying to figure out what kind of fish this little guy is. He was at my LFS and they said he came in mixed up in a shipment from one of their Florida suppliers accidentally and they had no idea what he was, except that he was a little feisty. I really liked him and took him home about 1.5 months ago and threw him in my planted 120 with some larger fish. He’s been a model citizen and is starting to color up. I don’t know if he’s a cichlid, or some sort of native fish from FL, perhaps some sort of unique dwarf sunfish or something? He has a false eyespot on his dorsal fin like some South American cichlids do, and now his fins are coloring up with a light reddish tint. Does anyone have any ideas? I’d be stoked to find out what it is! In this pic he’s the little fish in the center facing right - i just took a few current pictures when I found him - excuse the algae, tomorrow is maintenance day and I gotta get in there and scrape it with a water change
