Rescued this fish last night. He/she is very shy so far, and runs from the camera. I was told it is a west African cichlid that gets to about 4 inches. Any help would be appreciated.

A better picture would be extremely helpful.

If you're talking about the striped fish near the top of the fixture, I agree we need a better pic, but just based on that I'm going to hazard possibly Corydoras sterbai?

If there's a Cichlid in that photo, all I can see is an eyeball, and I'm afraid my eyeball IDs are pretty lacking LOLOL

I will keep looking. Behind his eye is an eyespit with a patch if orange. The body is all that grey, but the dirsal has an iridescent stripe on top.

He is very shy. He has been in a shipping bag for 18 days

18 days?! Where'd you rescue the poor guy from?
Try turning the lights out for a while and giving him time to rest...

He was part of an exoeriment. Here is a better pic:

Looks like some type of Acara. Perhaps brown acara?

Female Chromidotilapia guentheri?

if its been a bag that long, give it time to get some color back as that its obviously extremely stressed over the ordeal. poor fish.

Black Convict Cichlid perhaps
