So I do sales rep work at several pet stores and came across this fish today that isn't labeled and is in a tank where the only other listed cichlids are generalized as, "Malawan Cichlids" and I'm not certain what this one is. My guess was possibly a Rainbow Cichlid, any ideas?
Agree, it looks like a very mature Herotilapia multispinnossa
here is a young one, the barring and mid-body spot are very similar.
older individuals tend to get more boxy looking, especially in profile, and the orange color tends to intensify
That's a Rainbow for sure! Probably from a different location than the usual. I want it ! because i have 2 males! i need an adult female. Impossible to find.
