Labeled Gold Cheek synspilum??

[RD.]

With a name like that they are most likely a farm fish, not from a local hobbyist.
Segrest farms has some on their list, and is most likely where BA's got them.

Ah ok so they are most likely guttulatum.

Phone the Hamilton store & ask for Larry Johnson. If he still runs the fish room there he would be the person to talk to.

Here's an adult with the same farm name.

FYI - Segrest also sells hybrid cichlids, so caveat emptor.

Interesting looking Umbriferum on that page. Looks a little like Parachromis motaguense.

........ and now you know why fish are constantly being wrongly labeled at the LFS.

Exactly.

I'm passing on these guys. I found an 8-10 inch Syn.. or should I say they think it's a Syn at a local lfs. I'm going to go look at it later today..
