Calico(or pink) Fenestradus maybe.

Stunning fish what ever they are.

wow those are pretty.

The fene I had, his back, was a plain arch. This one looks like more hump of a head..

I'll just guess some kind bifa. Could it be Pink bifa? Super nice man.

not fene or bifa(i thought fene also)until i was informed about the dna testing and the fact they are going to be presented in a new cichlid book as a new paratheraps ,they have not been officially named yet,but the person they are going to be named after will be putting out his book soon.

After searching through my big book of central cichlids, I came up with... Theraps sp. "Conkel" from Lago Catemaco, Mexico. The book is the same age as me... 16. BTW The book is Cichlids of North & Central America by Donald Conkel.

That fish turned out NOT to be a new species.

This new fish is from Conkel too.
