I got 4 of these fish in at work (big box pet retailer) as blue rams, which they are clearly not. They are about 2". The bottom pic is right after I caught it to take the pic, stress bars and whatnot. The top pic is after being left in the container for an hour and stress bars are almost gone.

When left alone in the tank the only obvious markings are the band through the eye and that dark vertical mid-lateral blotch. No colors to speak of.

Body shape is very similar to that of a ram, but facial structure is wrong. They are VERY timid.

My first thought was that maybe that they are keyholes, but the pictures I can find seem to look different. They also don't look anything like bolivian rams that I've ever seen.

Any ideas as to what they are?

Thanks,
Jeff
