Can anyone ID this cichlid

[Steve2717]

I recently purchased from an online store what I thought was a salvini cichlid, however instead of the nice bright yellow of a salvini this fish appears a light brownish colour. Can anyone help and let me know what kind of fish this is, whether a salvini or not. Thanks for any assistance, apologise if a little blurry, it's hard to get them sitting still

@Wills what say you ?

It's not a salvini. Maybe a hybrid with managuense or something new.

You might be able to do an image search on google.

Thanks I thought it wasn't, bit annoyed as it obviously wasn't what I wanted and I'd bought a convict which was supposed to be 7cm and was more like 3cm when it came. More concerned due its size whether it will survive as I have a 4/5inch green terror in there. There's plenty of hiding spots so hopefully he survive long enough to grow a bit. Tried to reverse search but it didn't result in anything that looked like it. Thanks again

Need to find a central American cichlid group and see if they can ID it. But if it's a hybrid, you won't have much luck.

It looks kind of like a Chocolate Cichlid or Umbee Cichlid?

Umbee Cichlids are a beautiful species of fish that are found in South America in rivers of Columbia. They are a rather large fish at full maturity. This means that you will always be able to see their striking pattern from far away, and anywhere in your aquarium. Their faces are dark but they...
