This guy is named lou. IMo my most beautiful fish. Genetically he is a srt x carpintinis though he got some of the short body parrot genes, as a lot of mine do (my fish are from cjbarth via lusus)
There is either a < O marking on his side or L O depending on how you look at it.
I was discussing it with a friend who suggested that it looks like it spells "Lou".. so that's what I've been calling him, although it could also be god saying LOL I wrote on a fish : P

Anyways he is one of my favorites.
I would be interested to know what you guys think of him
and if you have any other suggestions about what it may say on his side.
Secretly I hope as he grows it will spell the word "LOVE"

In some of these shots he looks like a green terror but not in the tank.
He is too skittish to take pics of while hes swimming

Cool! Really nice fish. I had a jaguar cichlid that I called 32 because his pattern looked like it.

Its on the gill plate right below the eye. It could also be a z or a lightnight bolt. its the biggest pearl on the face and theres a circle directly to the right of it

fish freak thats awesome do you have a pic of 32?

I think the letter thing is awesome because of the flowerhorn lucky ledgend and the one in egypt that says allah on it in arabic. I think they said it is worth 30 thousand or something.
There is also one in california with the letters cali on it.

I got a new phone which takes pics but no video. I used to video fish in the tank and take stills from that but I cannot anymore. I don't have a good camera so this is the best it will be for now.
Since I can't take video lou is very difficult to photograph because he is very fast and nervous. Do you guys know any techniques for taking pics of fast fish with a low speed camera?
 
Maybe set up a 10gal just for photos.
It'll stress the fish, but after it calms down you can probably get good pictures
