Welcome to the forum!
A lot of the CA cichlids look the same as juveniles. In a mixed bag, it could be anything.
That said, if I’m not mistaken trimaculatus is the only one with red eyes, so could likely be one of them (or a hybrid of one).
Let's hope it's a Lyonsi thenAs Deadeye said a lot of CA juvie cichlids can look similar but I'd guess Amphilophus Lyonsi which like Trimaculatus also has red eyes. Both have spot lines along their lateral line but Tri's have a spot on their head above their gills. Though as a juvie perhaps it hasn't developed yet. If it starts killing all it's tankmates it's probably a Tri if it doesn't it a Lyonsi.
Egads and gadzooks, you dare disagree with me?!? You're probably right, both Tri's and Lyonsi are unlikely. Guess I was projecting what I'd want it to be. It being a Mid would be a lot more likely.Every ca importer would be punching the air if it actually ended up being a lyonsi. I want to say it's just a generic baby unpeeled midevil but there's always the chance of it being a really low quality flowerhorn. More than likely the former. Trimac would start to show flowers at that point.
Welcome aboardHi, we ordered vieja fenestrata cichlids from a local shop.
However one of the cichlid looks different than the others, he has red eyes and a different black line. Does anyone know what type of cichlid he is? ThanksView attachment 1540752
Whoops, I didn't read the first part, only saw the picture. The only person doing wholesale on fenestrata tmk is Dan. What else does Dan have? Nearly every amphilophus that has hit the market; including lyonsi, and he does randomly throw fish at his wholesale customers, I had to ID a rheoheros at a store in Tampa in January cuz they didn't know what it was either. By process of elimination and assuming what it is, it is probably like Kevin said, a lyonsi. I am not good on IDing baby amphilophus but the mouth does look pointier than the others, which I did notice in my lyonsi when I had them.
