It's actually a tropical. I don't know why he turned so dark over the years. I had 4 of them and 2 looked like this on e they hit 24"Love those cichla and that tig!
That cuban is quite nice as well.
just because its more expensive doesn't mean it looks better. common fish are common because people love em.That's always how it is. When I kept parrots with my $2000 fish, people would comment on how beautiful they were....
