ill take a stab at it...im pretty sure im right...as i have two that look the exact same...it appears to be a Hemichromis Guttatus...or commonly know as the jewel cichlid...but with a twist...there is a newer version out there with little to no red on the body...which jewels usually have...instead they are blue...now unless the camera caught the colour funny i see blue there...the common name they are going under is neon blue jewels...or at least thats what ive seen them as...so basically i think they would be classified as like a Hemichromis sp.

I'd say it's a Dempsey too, although Jewel ciclid was the first thing to pop into my head. I haven't seen too many juvenile Dempseys, I got mine as an adult.

I have seen a lot of dempseys at work, and I'm sure that's one. The markings, body shape and fins are all identical. Are you missing any of your other fish yet?!

I was thinking it looked like a "George" to me. I'm pretty sure you'll know in a few months, I don't think Jewels get as big as Dempsys.
