I bought this one as a Intermedia with my other one, but I'm pretty sure its not. I was told it might be a Xingu Mirianae. What do you guys think??

[dvsgp6]

dont know but its looking nice, love your collection

[Morledzep]

the first pic, the front guy is not an intermedia, but unless he's an ocellaris that is just not showing his colors i don't know what he is, the guy in the back looks like a mono, but it's a bad angle.. could be ocellaris too.

i have seen my Dozer look gold with his bars faded like that from time to time, but not since he became the top dawg in the tank with the big tems.

Are you selling him her :D

[proaquatics]

washed out inter.

[dvsgp6]

also i seen intermedia pictures and usually have a gold speckled line running down the middle wiht the 5 bars, and also is the pbass on the 3rd pic on the right buttom corner a fogo if yes can we see some more pics

[RedTailKinG]

whatever they are they are nice looking beautiful colors

[Tongue33]

Looks like all the otehr Suspe3cted intermedia hangin around.. I can see the Mid line from behind the gill plates to the tail... As well as at least 5 bars one smaller than the rest... And the specals look to match as well.. Just really washed as stated above...

[calisucks]

I don't think its an intermedia, because here it is side by side with an intermedia..

[calisucks]

[calisucks]

Are you selling him her :D

I don't think it's an Intermedia but of course I could be wrong. When I saw it in person and from pictures you posted the colors and stripe pattern just differs? Now with the other one gone has it's colors and stripe pattern changed?

Could be either of the two noted below.

Cichla intermedia "Orinoco"
or
Cichla intermedia "Ventuari"

Sweet, just don't forget the Azul?:naughty:

[bOOsteN aUdI]

looks like a sub dominant intermedia to me... xingus are a bit diff and have a diff shape.. youll deff be able to tell the differance when it gets larger but right now i would say that is deff an intermedia

[CichlaRyan]

sorry to twist this thread but ive never seen a xingu are they a hybrid ive never heard refrence of these guys in books are they in the amazon?

[bOOsteN aUdI]

not a hybrid but their own species. they are hard to come by .. Darren has a few ..check out the cichla i.d thread i think there are some pics in there

Like the one in the link I posted? It says Intermedia.. but with teh lack of info and pics other than the web andt he DE site,...

[bOOsteN aUdI]

that looks like a river behind him.. maybe the xingu river? i always thought xingus have more of a duck bill looking face but personally after doing some quick research i am thinking xingu and intermedias are basically the same

[Tongue33]

At least classified that way right :)?

[mjuniorc]

Cichla intermedia "Ventuari"

;) I.M.O......^^^

[channarox]

looks awesome.
i think i'd call it an intermedia as well. :D

[Rebel Souljah]

Man you got some sick A$$ Bass!!! No doubt

[bOOsteN aUdI]

At least classified that way right :)?

or yes at least classified that way .. i am going to find out more between the 2 and get back to everyone.. its deff an intermedia though

[R1_Ridah]

Yours reminds me of this..

"C. melaniae seems to prefer habitats in the rocks where there is strong current velocity. Interestingly, this is also the preferred habitat of C. intermedia"

Possibility when they were catching Intermedias this got caught in the net =-)
