Can someone help me figure out what kind of cichlid this is? The dark blue/brown one

Some type of Aulonacara.   Do you have an extra tank to put it in for awhile,  let it color up & then post pictures?

My first thought is Aulonocara kandeense (Blue Orchid peacock).  As Blair said, try putting it into another tank to see if it colors up more to make identification easier.

Thank you both very much. I will have to try that. I just got him someone was just giving him away for free and they didn't know what he was either. I will try that and see if he colors up more. Thanks again!!  ;D
