I believe It is a barred midas, Amphilophus citrinellum. The body shape and the shape of it;s head is consistent with the species. It's not a Lyonsi or a Trimac. The body is wrong on the former and the latter as pointed out...would have some large or small pearling. I can see how it would be mistaken for Lyonsi based on the picture I posted on the other thread.
Folks are too quick to call out hybrid. And how people can volunteer the "mix" with any accuracy has always been beyond me. I've been looking at CA cichlids for over thirty years and I couldn't do it.
What color is the fish's eye? Just curious.

@ Aquamojo : hi ..u r totally right .that we sometimes go quickly to say hybrid when we see a photo of unusual fish"to us" may the fish was stressed or in mating time or have bad time or a deformed gene or something like that even more the fish is so appear its type but u can't see that or even because of other replies b4 urs or something make u thing in the hard way or the far away road however it so near and so clear ..sometimes u try to guess "just a guess "if u don't know -and here u must say that u r not sure -but try to remember the closest fish that can have the same appear or the same family out shape
and that what i tried to do "BTW : i hope u ID my 2 fish too Plz.
"@ Miguel :good luck

I mean to say it has the black spots or flowers that you typically see on flowerhorn, lyonsi, and trimacs.
I did however come across this picture while looking at lyonsi. This site claims its lyonsi and it does resemble the fish in question.
