thanks for digging my thread up.. Those were 3 of my favorite amphilophus I ever raised. Still can't believe I sold them for $10 each..

Red devils are just too hard to sell for $ when ugly ones are a dime a dozen everywhere else.
I remember arguing wether or not yours were just peeling or not LOL. I ended up losing and coming to terms that you just had a piebald. I've never seen another fish like yours. As long as he was from a reputable source and not hybrid I still find it rare to find a male like you had.
