ID please!

Hi,

Can anyone ID this for me? LFS had it listed as a cichlid? Great help. I'm guessing it's some type of vieja.


Cheers

Looks like it could be a juvenile washed out syn but vieja can look remarkably similar at small sizes and adding on to that the crosses breeds floating around don't help .but I'd say syn

That's a regular young synspilum - normal colors for this age.

I'm leaning more towards fenestratus due to the length of the black running down the side of the body. The black on syns doesn't typically extend that far. Looks like a healthy juvie, post more pics as adult coloration comes in.

Update. Anyone have anymore ideas?

photo doesn't show the red on the tail fin and yellow pearlescent scales on the body. Also the face/head is beginning to show some red colouration.

Im no expert but it's definitely showing syn characteristics
