Cichlid Identification

[Red Devil Horde]

It's mos def a African hybrid, & mos def not a FM!!!
African hybrids are more commonly found on the market..
The only SA/CA hyrbid most commonly sold on the market, is the RD/Midas/Midevil.

I think it's a SA Cichlid as he's not that colorful to be African.

Why do you keep saying that, it's definitely African.

Don't know the exact species but I'm absolutely positive that it is African and in no way shape or form is it an American Cichlid.

My research has led me to believe he's a Copadichromis Mloto but I'm not 100% sure.

I smell haplochromis. Pretty sure its not a venestus the pattern is wayy off

Agree 100%. It looks to be some sort of African Hap??

It's one of the Malawian Haps - Copadichromis species

It has Copadichromis in it. But what ELSE is in it im not sure. Maybe some Mbuna. A hybrid all the same.
