Very nice fish, but I do agree how they've changed so drastically in the past month or so, from thin and long bodied with 7 stripes to taller and more "Xingu" like. with the original owners permission, I will post some pictures for comparison.

First are a series of what people call "Xingu" cichla melaniae. all the ones you see in the US are all from 2 separate batches of wild ones brought in through Germany, into the US. Then their off springs, starting off with the wild ones
