Hey everyone - it's been awhile since I've been on here...
Anyways, I've got a 37 gallon tank with 3 cichlids so far: a firemouth cichlid, blood parrot cichlid, and well, I forgot what other one is called. I know it's a semi-aggressive cichlid: it looks silver with 2 black spots. There's a spot behind the front fin (on each side), and one at the tail (on each side). When the fish swims around it gives off a blue tint (it looks like it has blue speckles). It also has faint stripes (almost like a Tiger). Any ideas? I'll try to get some pics; tried to get some already but he/she swims fast! I've skimmed through the index section, but haven't found my fish yet...

The 1st and 2nd pic is of the same fish (the one I'm trying to identify).
The last pic is of my firemouth and the cichlid I am trying to identify. They look similar, but are different.

...is my mystery fish a Texas Cichlid??
 
are you sure it is a cichlid? almost sounds like you are describing a blue/opaline gourami....

or does it look like a powder blue cichlid?
