Kinda looks like some baby severums I saw in a fish store once :dunno: But I'm no expert...
 
Can't really tell from the picture but it would be easier if you gave us a discription.
 
I don't know enough about cichlids yet to accurately ID it, but I agree with Dwarfs; it's definitely a cichlid that will probably have some size to it when fully grown.

How big is it now? It's an egglayer not a livebearer, so it's not pregnant, but it could be filled with eggs if it is large enough to breed. If it's only a couple of inches or so, I'd be worried that it might actually be constipated :/
 
Doesn't look familiar. Maybe it's yet another hybrid. Yippee.
 
I was actually thinking of it being some possible type of parrot (or jellybean, still not sure what the difference is :/ ) but then remembered the little sevs I saw.... I wish I could be more helpful :-(
 
It's a baby (a small and very well-fed baby) of one of the vieja species... possibly bifasciatum. Hybrid is a possibility, time will tell, but righ tnow it looks like vieja.

looks like synspilum to me though. :) that or a syns/bifasc cross which are unfortunately very common.
