not where I'm supposed to be
Since the storm Ive been looking for different fish (mainly pikes) and I came across this fish. http://www.thatfishshop.com/findex/fish/crenicichla_adspersa.htm

Seeing Lent pics and the 1 that was labeled at the lfs. but when I saw this pic I had to question if that was a lent. especially after they were selling Cinctas marked as Scottis. The one at the shop look more like this than the lent pics Ive seen.

really do wish more work was done on documenting American fish. might have to start a biz, any partners.
 
It looks like either a variant of lenticulata or marmorata...but it might be its own species. Never seen it before. There is no ocelli at the base of the caudual fin though so that makes it a bit weird.
 
damn all these variants, morphs and color changin ass fish... lol
does look like this pic without the solid stripe though
