Is this a Vieja Synspilum?

[superman818]

I'm wonder if this a Vieja Synspilum or a hybrid. He has the colors of a red head cichlid but his head is huge. What do you think?

[Gourami Swami]

Yeah, IMO its a syn. THey have huge heads naturally.

that thing is for sale on recycler.com for $400...

 

[Modest_Man]

It's the real deal, but $400? No thanks.

Here's a nice male on the cover of an old Ad Konings' cichlid book.

psh. 400$? Id rather get a baby for 20 and raise it myself, thank you very much.
