This is in the cichla id thread as a Cichla monoculus "Rio Negro" and im thinking it will turn out like this?

Unfortunately that thread is outdated for the most part no such thing as Rio negro monoculus, most monos come from Peru not Columbia the pic you posted above is a kelberi

ok thanks well I hope he turns out like that as the bodyshape is the same ,but it would be my luck its some type of hybrid as I did think it was a orino x kelberi hybrid

Haha very well could be unfortunately a lot of them in the hobby. Where’d you get it from if you don’t mind me asking?
