Very interesting. I would also agree that this is not a Kelberi.

Maybe [SIZE=+2]Cichla nigromaculata[/SIZE]

This is what i thought could be a kelberi a while back

While this is a great looking fish, I would argue that it is not a kelberi.

One of the defining characteristics of kelberi is the presence in adults of small light spots on pelvic and anal fins, and lower lobe of caudal fin. This fish shows none of the above. Granted, this fish may not be adult but it should be showing hints of spotting in the listed fins. I see none.

true...scat definitely has a point.
hmm...
