    If he's stressed his colors could be a little different than normal.

    Spots can vary greatly. Once you're able to get a picture of him we can all give our opinions. Tomorrow the fish should be less jumpy.

    You can't always go by what those places have them labeled as. I remember once I bought some Aratus Cichlids from PetCo and they were labeled as Bumble Bee Cichlids.

    The Demasoni Cichlids ? Those guys are good for smaller tanks since they don't get large like other african cichlids.
