Guess This Fish

[Cichlidlove4all]

I bought her from a local petstore, was told she was a red texas,at the time i couldn't tell because she was stressed and was entirely black, got her home and calmed her down in a nice warm tank. revealing an orangey color. as she grew, her color darkened to this present colorand she has a slight pearling going on her body's scales,her head has a beautiful emerald green hue to it andim sure if i had a male, he would be far more colorful and easier to identify, myguess is she belongs to the "Herichthys" genus because of the pearling and the body shape that does closley resemble a texas cichlid. any ideas?

and a measurement picture

A hybrid of something definitely. Looks almost like a festae x vieja...

 

[Cichlidlove4all]

vieja is looks like a definite part, the head is similar to a

especially when she's stressed or breeding, but then whatexplains the green head and lack of color?

I'd guess texas x flowerhorn. I've got some that look exactly like her.

i'm going to guess some type of vieja x herichthys cross. really nice looking fish though.
