Well Wal-Mart is famous for screwing up names of their fish. Its labeled assorted cichlids. And there are firemouths to red devils to all kinds of different fish in there. My girlfriend bought some "assorted cichlids" from there and ended up with firemouths, red devils, convicts to something else that I can not think of right now. Cobalt Zebra is what most likely it should have been named. Its also an african cichlid I believe. Just watch out with Wal-Mart. They use the same cups and same water from all tanks to take your fish home in. Meaning if one tank is taminated now your new fish you just took home is. This being from experience.

Thats what I am talking about. They keep all kinds of Cichlids in the assorted tank including Jack Dempseys. I just think Wal-Mart should handle that better is all. I also found out Wal-Mart was more expensive then my local fish store. They wanted $3.95 for a jewel cichlid where as my LFS wanted $.99 However in Texas it was another story. Wal-Mart was cheaper for fish then the LFS so, go figure I guess?
