Can Anyone Id This For Me?

it looks like a ram, but it was listed as like a ruby cichlid or something. The lfs said they only get to be like 3" or so. I thought maybe it was a golden german blue ram. Your thoughts?

I can't see the pic but 'ruby cichlid' is often used by LFSs for bolivian rams so that's probably what it was (I'd need to see the pic to make shure though).

looks a little off colour tho.

ok so its a bolivian ram. i couldn't help it so i bought two of them hehe. They were off color at the LFS so i didn't know. Do they get discolored like that when they are stressed? I fed them some flakes and bloodworms and the bigger of the two is starting to get some coloration in his fins.
