Well, for obvious reasons it looks like C. monoculus (phenotypically), but it's hard to get an accurate idea as to the total length of the fish. Maybe not developed, yet? Hard to say. I would say C. monoculus if I had to attach a name to it though. Agree??

True.

cool lookin...notice the first two bars...

yeah... remember how Rapps' kelberi all have uneven distance of bars.
If that cichla really come from Brazil?? I wonder what else sp. can it be??
I am not saying it's kelberi.

One of my kelberi has significant uneven bars 2 and 3.

Good point. Also, it does have "Kelberi" slope to it's head...unlike the monoculus slope (more drastic). Interesting specimen for sure. It's always fun to play the ID game with Cichla. I am not saying it's one species or another, either, since I DON'T HAVE TO :D

We would need a few more pix and something for size reference.
