What are you feeding him? Mines about the same got him about 1.5” now he’s about 4” but he’s not light with blue spots like yours mines dark with blue spots
Just normal cichlid pellets and flakes. The reason mine is lighter in color is because of the substrate. Cichlids tend to blend in their color based on the color of the substrate. White subtrate means lighter color, and black substrate means darker color.
I mean you can try introducing them, but always be prepared to separate the fish if there is any form of aggression. Long term I think you should get a bigger tank as these fish can reach 30+ cm.
