The one I know of is in my LFS, and is about 7", so obviously not an adult. Not in my life have I seen a fully matured azul, but the ones I've seen (4-12") had similar spangles. Not a cichla expert though, so I could have misidentified them. Also was never aware of kelberi subspecies. I've NEVER seen a full adult PB bass in my life, the kelberis I've seen were about 12-14 inches and had very few/no spangles.
Take a look the the cichla media gallery. A lot of nice adult cichla to check out!
I was just giving you a hard time haha. I figured the azul was a juvie when you mentioned spangles.
Sometimes, kels won't even develop spangles until 12"+.

It's more common than you'd expect. I'm pretty sure Denver zoo has a pinima that was donated a few years ago.
Ah, I see. The kels in my LFS display tank don't have many spangles, plus they're the only ones I've seen in my life. All I see are ocellaris.
