These are an undescribed Uruguay species. Pulled some fry today and caught what looks to be the male. I’ve got 3 pairs out there.
Ruta 44 gold acara and some fry

Cichlasoma sp ruta 44 AKA “44 special”
- Thread starter C. Breeze
- Start date
this is a closeup of the fry in the net with the parent above. Look at thesecolors. Even the Gill plates. Just outstanding fish.
No longer in spawning mode with all the gold and yellow- now they’re about as close to a “true” electric blue acara as you can find…..
Almost looks like apaistograma Borrelli
I’ve got 2 pairs but I had 2 extra males that made it hard for the second smaller pair to spawn. But had a good breeding season and fry raising season anyway with a couple spawns and hundreds of fry which are growing out nicely. Already starting to show that almost translucent Iridescence

Gotta show the ruta 44 gold some love. This is the time of year That gives them the name “gold”
look how yellow those fins get. They’ll get better and better for the next few weeks.
