Just finished setting up two 55 gals tanks that a guy I met did not want. Anyway, along with the tanks came a big Oscar, 3 convicts, and this guy which I can't figure out exactly what he/she is. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

It's very very beautiful!!!! Can you post some more pics of it? You'll probably get a FOTM nom if you get a better shot of it!!!

I was thinking acara maybe? Thanks for the comments, first time fish owner and boy did I get in big. This guy sold me two 55 gal tanks, full hoods, 2 350 magnum pro filters, 4 powerheads, rocks, huge oscar, 3 convicts, black iron stand, hoses, etc, etc...get this...for only $100. Here is a pic of the recent setup I finished today. The bottom tank is the "river tank" with the oscar and convicts and plecotomus, the top tank is the "freshwater tropical" tank with angels, kissers, guamies?

Here are a couple more pics of the unknown fish. I don't know about the FOTM, but thanks B)

Also, the fish changes colors, the first pic I posted he/she is more pinkish but often he/she is darker.

Here is darker:

Looks like one of the jewel cichlids (hemichromis species) from west Africa.

Whatever it is, it's gorgeous! Your tanks look fantastic, I can't believe you got all that for such a great price
