If so, Firemouth, Thorichthys meeki I think is the proper name.

Hi Dave  yes that's him. so now I know his name, do you anything about them or as an adult what he is worth.

Hi Lee,
Not sure what an adult would be worth, they used to be very common, but seem to have lost popularity a bit. Probably due to interest in rift lake cichlids. A quick google will give you all the info you need about them.
