Pictures taken in the store by phone, then I had no camera:)
Hypselecara swam with the fish together, but the salesman assured me that this is not Hypselecara, but he did not know what it is fish. :)
Thanks for the replies, maybe someone has other ideas?

The salesman was wrong, the fish is Hypselecara temporalis, the common Chocolate Cichlid. It's a sort of non-dominance pattern, stress pattern.

Yes, Derrell, is right it is Hypselecara temprolis (most likely).
qbsztyk1 accept the opinion by Bas Pels, Alex Odesit and Darrell Ullisch. All are outstanding experts of South American Cichlids. It seems the salesman just want make buiseness (what is the major task of a salesman, by the way).qbsztyk1 be so kind and let us know where (country, city) you are taking these photos (to know where the store is)

I'm sorry that so late, long time no login and I did not seen this question, but better late than never ;)
I do not think that the salesman wanted to make business , I think he was just an inexperienced salesman, a shop located in central Poland ;) But no matter, I think it was a single case.
Thank you all for your responses.
Greetings
