Something that separates CA/SA's apart from Africans and others. Tall bodied large finned fish fit that bill. I'd say Midas, but that's been done a few times. Since colors not a issue,
maybe patterns. Cyannoguttatus, Maculicauda or ?. Final answer, Large male big spot Carpintis Escondido with an impressive hump and flared fins.
Going to have to go against you on this one Cavamart. No other cichlid comes to mind first when you think of a "tall bodied large finned" fish then a Midas. Also, no other fish comes first when your thinking of a hump except maybe flowerhorns, but we all know where te hump ultimatly came from. Not to mention we want an actual species, not a hybrid.
No, we haven't. CichlidScene and Aquamojo both have Midas as their flag fish in their logos. Both are great and show that a Midas would be a perfect fit. Since it would be black and white, a striped Midas would be perfect. You could easily work "MFK" into a design that could look like stripes on a Midas. So ultimately I think a "Barred Midas" with MFK as the bars would be a spectacular fit.
