If you know what he is, any info about him would be great.

kinda almost looks like a juvenile green terror.. anybody else ?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Hmmm the spot and color looks like a Green Terror. But it has no markings on its face. And i don't they would get their full color at 2".

jack dempsey?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Idk, shape looks like a young JD, but still no distinctive dots around the eye. Most if not all JD's have those dots around the eye, even at a young age.....like this....

all the blue irridescense on the side, the spots and the overall shape - says ram to me... Face looks a tad pointy though.

Lets all agree - we need a better picture!
