Its a juvenile C. Ocellaris. Those black bars will kinda fade and only the round black "eye" will be brightly surrounded by yellow color!!!toxicfish said:Today I bought a new Cichla, and the people at the lfs are trying telling me it is an Ocellaris. The 2 cichla's I bought from them 3 months ago were said to be ocellaris also.......WTF!!!!!
First 2 pics are of the first one I got about three months ago, and the last 2 pics are of the one I bought today.
