It is the odd time of the odd year again, and it looks like my local pet shop have some nigromaculata in stock! :O (but it is not advertised as nigro, so it is CHEAP!)
I wish you guys can buy them!

You always get the good stuff out by you. What did you do with those pinima that you picked up?
Just saw these on kijiji, nice find. I didn't realize you were Canadian. Goodluck with your group. Before your post I had never heard of these cichla
I live like a block away, so more pics!
very promising bars on the 4"-5" fish! 100% certain these are nigro!
They look exactly the same as the 12"+ nigro I owned a few years ago. (two tone colors, red eyes)
A little update: I cannot resist of picking up two as I am afraid someone outside of this community picks them up and we will never know the truth.
Also, I got strange information from the seller. These fish weren't from SA, they were not wild caught, and surprisingly, they were from oversea.
Could the Asian been breeding the nigro in secret? just like the kels? or because they are so similar to the mono and it got mix up with the batch? or is this the result of inbreeding?
so many questions, and so little answers...

Might be low grade intermedia. Idk about nigromaculata being pond bred but I know that intermedia are. Grow them out and let's see.
They look like some sort of mono hybrid. I wouldn't say nigromaculata or intermedia. You'll have to grow them out to find out what they'll become
