Could these be Kelberi?

I got these 2 5" cichla today and they came in from brazil as sp yellow, but looking at the kelber threads they look almost the same! They already have loads of colour in the fins, red eyes and the broken third bar which goes ino a stripe.! Could these be kels?

now owning one myself, I have to say yes based on body structure, color, pattern, etc. but I am no expert

Wow Boggy, I would be very excited to grow these guys up and see how they turn out.

If I were you, I wouldn't have my hopes up to minimize disappointment but if it was a kelberi, imagine the surprise that you would get!

They do look a hell of alot like my Kelberi! I mean like almost identical. You may have made a nice score!
