looks the the orinos that one of my local LFS just got in. Smaller but same pattern.

scientific name for xingu peacock is cichla melaniae named after ichthyologist Melanie.

Marianiae is a different fish we call Fogo, which has never been imported or exported.

they are actually wc and imported from brazil according to the store owner, something i thought not necessary to mention, now that you mentioned this fogo, it instantly got my interests to a whole new level, after comparing to this thread

I think I am willing to take the risk of getting my hands on one or two. maybe they'll turn out to be fogos as they do show the potential with red eye and all... I will get one today and keep you guys updated on how it turn out to be! (hopefully the one i like is still there)

and thank you so much fugupuff for such rare and informative treat

and everyone else here for their inputs as well!
