I just got a cichla from my local fish store today and am loving it. However, the sign strictly said "Peacock Bass" and not what type it is. Just wondering if anyone can help me tell exactly what type of cichla it is.





He's only about 3 or so inches right now. Haven't been able to get an actual measurement on him yet so that's just a guess. Can't wait to get this guy into a bigger tank in the next couple days along with my tire track :)

Looks like a stressed Pbass to me.

@cichla81: Thanks for the little bit of info you could give me. Every little bit helps :)

@haynchinook: It's doin fine. He's just about used to the aquarium and is moving around plenty. He's already eaten too so he's in good shape right now.

@troutking: yeah after looking at a couple other pics I think he looks the most like a mono. Awesome help :)
