Hi all. I just bought a new African Cichlid. But, I have no idea what type it is. It seems kind of stupid but... oh well. I was wondering what it was. When I bought it at the fish store, the tank with it in it said asst.african cichlid. that is all it says. It is like grey/silver/white with a hint of stripes.... any idea on what it might be ??! Question

That picture is definitely a P. lombardoi. Cons (which are from S. America, not Africa) have a much rounder body.
