good job theo.....i thought this was fairly interesting. following is the quote from the fella (shadbuster) that ID'd it on the OTHER forum:

"It's a red blood parrot cichlid, this is a man-made hybrid cichlid breed for the aquarium trade and it can be pretty expensive running anywhere from 30 to 50 dollars a piece. These fish are a relatively new "species" and are in high demand among aquarium enthusiasts, originally they only came in orange but can now be found in all sorts of colors, they will eat any tropical fish food. A pretty cool catch that you might be able to sell on craigslist since most pet shops will not take fish back and if they do only for store credit. If there are anymore out there they will not pose a treat to the environment since they are tropical fish and will die come winter."
