Hey all, so i just got these new cichlids and i'm stumped on one of 'em... i picked up 2 bumblebees, no problem, but the third one's a mystery. it's that silver and black one in the pic i posted - the store said it was a red empress, but i'm pretty sure it's not. can someone please help me out and tell me what it is? i just wanna make sure i can give it the right care in my AC tank. thanks...

well, no one helped me but i did manage to figure it out on my own. after some research, i'm pretty sure it's a juvenile Taiwan reef cichlid. thanks anyway for the consideration.

Just saw this thread now, my apologies for the late response. Not exactly a cichlid expert, but I've noticed it can take some time for people to respond around here. Glad you were able to identify the fish on your own - it does indeed look like a Taiwan Reef Cichlid, nice job figuring that out.
