If this indeed has C. Kelberi genes, it should produce anal/pelvic fin spangling at that size. Not a genetics wiz however, if this doesn't happen i'm going to assume it's a recessive allele, and if so imagine the possibilities as far as selective Cichla breeding goes.

Infact: For those members who would like to read a very detailed research article on the interspecies hybridization of Cichla, you'll be very entertained.

This study even goes as far as to say there are only 8 separate biological entities that should be recognized rather than the 15 described species of Cichla.
