I kinda think they are because they have those bright red eyes!!

Is their face structure elongated like a tem would be?

I have had intermedia and temensis in the past intermedia looks very different then those of HULON's. It is very clear to tell aswell. With the new picture updates you can see that the horizontal bar widens as it progresses down to the tail very typical of temensis. Also, face structure elongation and general body elongation is a very very typical trait of all "Striped" cichla vs. "Blotch" (e.g Cichla Monoculus, Cichla Pleiozona, Cichla Kelberi, Cichla Orinocensis etc. Just to name a few.) Now compare and contrast and you will also see that at very very juvenile scale Cichla Intermedia will have more than 4-5 blotches and are very obvious to tell. Now if you dont think i am right give it some time. In the next inch or so you will see some spangling form around the horizontal bar.

I'm pretty sure xingu and mirianae all have horizontal lines, especially when small. I have also seen juvie pics of intermedia, they have horizontal lines, looks similar to Hulon's and yes, they were confirmed intermedia as there were pics of them later on in life.

WOAH! Did i say xingu and melianaie good eye, its been a long day. I meant to say orinocensis and pleiozona. And who confirmed them being intermedia? I do not quite understand you their.

Also i dont mean intermedia is a blotched as its a striped then develops blotches.

I am not ready to give up yet hennry!! they are developing slight verticals between the three now witch gives them 5!!!! they are faint but it is encouraging. right now tip to tail they still are maybe 1.5 inch very small so yes time will tell!!

Ya i saw that wonder what he is charging?No pics yet of them tho.

I think they still have a chance because they are so small. If Shark Aquarium actually has inters, I will have some asap!

Here is a another picture for you to compare to:
