Got it at a store in Clio who sold it as a A. "Lwanda" Red Shoulder but the outline color on the Red Shoulder is usu. orange and the red behind the head is restricted closer to the head.

Hmm Somthin's Fishy about what you were sold. Could be a hybrid they do get a lot of fish farm fish that come in there.

Looks a lot like my blue dragon blood. It's a beautiful fish. I would just call him a red peacock

Somethin's definitely Fishy     Believe me, I won't buy anything more from them on "their say".

At least someone got the joke. Who sold it to you the owners or one of the workers?

One of the workers, but then the owner (male) came out and using the "Tepoot" book on Cichlids identified it as a Aulonocara sp. "Red Shoulder".  I'm looking at the same book (page 25) and mine certainly looks like A. Nyassae (hansbaenschi) Red Flush Peacock with just the variation in the mottling in the tail.  And I agree... He is Beautiful !!!
