Figure you guys will be able to tell me more than I could. I bought this guy yesterday from a local store (Atlantais in Clawson) They had no idea what he was and said just a mixed African :-\ I'm thinking maybe Kenyi? I'm still not good at ID'ing so I might be way off, any ideas?? BTW he's 3" and cost $8 so I couldn't pass him up

Looks like an elongated Socolofi to me.  I'm not seeing the orange lateral lines that Joanjohnsonae have.

Blair please enlighten a still newbie if ya would. Because I google " joanjohnsonae cichlid" and I google "Socolofi cichlid" and I see the same thing to me. So what is the difference? I know there is, I'm just not seeing it myself even though I know it's there :o

Must'a been 3 to click it before me. No biggie though, I goggled both, just havin a hard time seeing the difference. I just need to learn more about these species I think though because I still have such a hard time telling the difference between so many of them.

A lot of them do look alike and really there's just a tiny difference it's about looking at every detail the fins coloration body style everything some do make it very hard to determine
