I.D. this WC from Chiapas

[FatJoeFish]

From my friends tilapia farm harvest in Chiapas.

 

[FatJoeFish]

Anyone think they know what this cichlid species this may be?

Couple more shots of the haul.

look hybrid to me

I caught bifasciatum in Chiapas, if caught there it's prob that...

 

[FatJoeFish]

Not hybrid.... lol. The gutulatum complex is very abundant there.

 

[FatJoeFish]

Hello me, it's me again.... . Perhaps hartwegi? Paratheraps are very difficult. Some ichthyologists think many are just variants of the same species. Regardless, I'm sure when I bring some of these back, they will look beautiful in the tank.

Cichlid Room Companion has both P. guttulatus and zonatus from Chiapas..
