Here's Stanley. This picture is pretty good except that his top fin is usually standing (like a mohawk) and his colors are much brighter. Also, the guy at the LFS mentioned that this fish was the yellow variety. A Cockatoo Cichlid?

Yep, cockatoo cichlid (apistogramma cacatuoides). Nice pickup!

Cute name, cute cichlid!

Love the colorful mohawk.

I agree with Harpua. Not only is that a cockatoo cichlid, but an absolutely gorgeous one at that! Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly! I'll have to get a better picture and put it up soon. Not bad for eleven bucks!
