Hey guys, I used to live in south florida and used to catch mayan cichlids all the time. Mostly they had the orange base coloration i've seen in the pics of the mayans in your aquariums. every so often though, i would see/ catch one that had a base color of light green. I was wondering if anyone had experienced them developing this color in aquariums? heres a link to a picture of one with the color im talking about: http://media.photobucket.com/image/green mayan cichlid/mig177_album/CopyofIMG_2358.jpg

ive seen them with the green goin much further down the back while they are spawning
