This has to be one of my all time favorite Cichlids and although its hard for me to get good pics of him this one turned out pretty good. He's the largest of my Cichlids and he's right next to my computer so we're buds.

Cichlasoma pearsei. It wont stay in Cichlasoma but it wont go into Herichthys either. Probably a new genus.

Cichlasoma Pearsi sounds better to me than Herichthys. Its currently Herichthys. It doesn't strike me as a Herichthys at all, it just doesn't display any of the characteristics of that group in my opinion.

Great looking fish
Looking for a couple for a long time
Can't find any for sale here
Good luck whit your gentle giant

Thank you. I used to see them for sale more but lately they don't seem to show up on too many lists. I think Ken at fishfarm had some but I'm not sure if he still does or not. Ira may also have fry but you'll have to check with him. Good luck and I hope you find some. they are great fish.
