I Need A Cichlid (I think?) Identified !

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Neither of them fight... yet. The LM just sort of swims up to him and looks at him and the flowerhorn doesnt really care. I dont sense any problems for the moment.

Not that, one lives in 80 degree water and the other below 75 degree water. Unless Im thinking about trout, lol
 
Not sure on the LMB temp requirements, but they do fine in Oklahoma in the summer heat and the ponds end up feeling like bathwater. It may not be ideal, but they do live in it. I would be more concerned the flowerhorn is too cold so I'd keep the temp bumped up to 80 at least for the flowerhorn.

Not sure what line he is, looks faded out but that could be that he is just adjusting still or even too cold. His hump may grow a bit but I wouldn't expect much, his tail is a bit weak. A good diet and water conditions will bring out the best in him. Looks like e may pop some pink, green or yellow and blue given the chance.
 
I'm pretty sure LMB are warm water fish. I catch them when I fish for Catfish sometimes and I know they are warm water. I think its some sort of low grade kamfa.
