Hmmm those look like Young Temensis.

They could be temensis or a temensis type cichla like the Lower Amazonas type ones.

What did you buy them as?

nice pick up btw.

They seem to have a less prominent stripe than young temensis. Maybe they're just losing the stripe, but they look small enough to have one.

As i said they arnt mine yet, should be getting 4 of them this week.
They are listed as cichla sp "tapajos" but the spots made me think temensis?

Cichla sp. "Rio Tapajos" I believe is one of the temensis "type" Cichla that are not formally describe yet. Don't quote me on that though.

I just did more search. I believe my guess may be right. They Rio Tapajos are the "temensis type" I believe they are the ones referred to as Cichla sp. Lower Amazonas. Similar to my Rio Tocatins Cichla.

Here are some pics of older ones.
