Cichla Kelberi or Hybrid?

[sabmakj21]

I got two supposed Kelberis from a pet store in town. They said it was brought in from Singapore by the owner of the store. Looking at many pictures on the web, I guess it could be a kelberi of some sort. Can someone help me ID these guys? They are about 8 to 9 inches now, about 8 months old. I got them when they were about 3 inches.

Sorry, being that I'm a new member, I have no idea how to use this site. I think I read I need to make 5 post before I can upload any pictures.

Ah....I see. Well, once you post pictures, I would most likely to ID your cichla. I've kept most cichla on the market besides pinimas, rio negro orinos and interms.

Here's some better pics. These two are from the same batch of kelberi I bought. The one with the black dorsal fins is the dominant of the two. Sometimes they display the same coloration, but my temensis was flaring at him. In different lighting during different times of the day they look totally different from these pics.
