this is the last hint im giving.. if you know your cichla it will narrow it down to only 2 species. Thats when the real skill will come in.

WE HAVE A WINNER!
 
Yeah, the Rio Trombetas is home to Cichla vazzoleri, which is the only one that would have such spotting. So, are you saying it's a Vazz??

What other juvenile vazzoleri of a similar size have you compared them to? I am just wondering because I have only seen a few small vazzoleri and they were dead and preserved :)
