the guy at the store said it was an african cichlid called a tretocanthus or somthing.

it is white with thick black stripes coming down its sides verticaly. with a hint of blue on the edges of its finns and a small blue dot front of its gills.

That's a pretty feisty fish you have there. It doesn't grow as large as some of its cousins but if it begins to mate it gets very territorial (even for a cichlid). I'd avoid co-specifics in the same tank if I was you.

Beautiful fish though.
