cichlid ID please

[bitteraspects]

got a free oddball today, wondering if anyone knows what it is. apx 6"

 

[japes]

Vieja/Paratheraps sp.

Have no idea with the larger centrals but I'm sure someone will chime in.

 

[Spaz]

I'm no expert but i'd say fenestratus or synspillum, it looks stressed.

 

[bitteraspects]

yeah it is stressed. just picked it up today, it should stabalize within a couple days

 

[Modest_Man]

Hmm....interesting coloration. You've got me stumped. Post a photo when it's not stressed and we'll see then.

 

[gnuisance]

^^^ I agree. It will be easier to ID once it has settled in to its new tank.

 

[reptech]

im going to take a shot and say a stressed synspillum put im not sure

 

[Mad About Cichlids]

Vieja heterospilus?

 

[Modest_Man]

Vieja heterospilus?

That was the closet I could come up with, but the red on the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins isn't right for V. heterospilus.

 

[cichlidinsomniac]

maybe bifasciatus
