1st day of FW Ecology Lab cichlid ID

[kadair]

Hey guys this is my first post and I am glad to have joined this awesome community.

I am taking a Freshwater Ecology class this summer and the first day of lab we caught some nice cichlids. We caught quite a few juvenile slavini cichlids and one adult with awesome colors. We also caught a cichlid I have never seen in South Florida before, my first guess was Dovii but I am not too sure. Could someone please chime in and let me know what cichlid this is.
Thanks.

Could it be a managuense hybrid of some kind. I don't see it being 100% managuense as there's no facial markings.

It may be a mayan x managuense, both are fairly numerous down their, and both can hybridize with each other. Just a guess.

Thanks that makes sense it does have some characteristics of both.
