Need help identifying cichlid

[zanemikel]

New to this site... Love African cichlids and have been keeping them for over a year now. Could someone tell me what this cichlid is called? The lady at the LFS told me it was a blue peacock she got from a breeder...even though it's clearly red. I think it's a red peacock, but it's a dark red ALL over except his face, and doesn't have patterns on his fins like typical red peacocks do and isn't a dark orange. What do you guys think? He's really small, not even two inches and has amazing color already which is why I got him.

This fish appears to be a Ruby Red Peacock or a German Red Peacock. Both are rather colorful peacocks, especially when they reach full size.

What is the difference between a ruby red and a German red?

What is the difference between a ruby red and a German red?

Whether or not it bombed Pearl Harbor.
