Amphilophus Amarillo

[Blue Bear]

I picked up this one and 2 other smaller ones possibly a pair. I try to post pics in a few. My question is is it actually an Amarillo? It doesn't seem to have the yellow. Maybe stressed out too. Anyway I thought I'd share. The guy said they came from COA.

Hard to be sure. It all boils down to if you believe what the guy said.

Can't say that I do. Lol

Regardless, it's an awesome fish.

I agree, thanks! I liked them even if they were listed as crossbreeds I still would have got them.

Here is a couple more. My camera is horrible I apologize. The yellow is starting to show.
2 of 3. The other is inside a log. Lol

No doubt--very nice fish. They definitely look like Amarillo. They' look Amph all the way. I definitely wouldn't call them cross breeds

How big are they? What size tank? Any idea how old they are?

2 are about 6-7 or so the other about 10. They're in a 120 quarantine for now. I'm not sure how old, I didn't think of asking at the time. I will try to e-mail the guy later.

I would love to see more pics. IMO, amarillo is probably the most appealing aesthetically out of the midas group. Also, they seem to get to a nice size but not giant like a chancho.

I will try to post some more pictures in a little bit.
