Ive been netting minnows to feed some of my fish in a local ditch. the other day I caught something which looked like a Mayan Cichlid but it looked different then most. It almost looked like it had some flowerhorn in it. I just went and netted again and caught another one. This one is not as funky lookin as the last. its aclimating to my holding tank right now, as soon as its done Ill take some pics n maybe u guys can help ID it.
 
can't wait for the pix.
 
cool find. would love to see those pics
 
See basically this is what the mayans over here usually look like

But these ones Ive been fishing out of this ditch have the blotches along the body like flowerhorns do (see below). The one I caught before this one has it even more though but its in my friends tank right now. I think im gonna steal it back though :P

It is very well possible that it is mixed with flowerhorn or some other cichlids cuz i have a pond here which connects to that ditch which is filled with all kinds of fish which shudnt be there. Red Devils, Mayans, Oscars (i think), convicts, tilapia, plecos and some other stuff. so if all that is in there it wudnt suprise me if there is some flowerhorns in there too.

lemme know wat u guys think...

thats what im sayin... i have no clue wat it might be mixed with. Its clearly got the mayan tail spot... n the redish fins... but them blotches on the side... dunno what thats all about...
 
take another pic of him in the water so we can see his colors better. i can see where you see a bit flowerhorn in him. lets see the water pics.
 
I wud love to but the holding tank is a tupperware, hes stressed right now so the colors r screwed. Im gonna pick up a 3 gal tomoro for taking pictures. SO for now this will have to do. In all honesty theres no way u can really ID this fish. The possibilities are endless...
 
Ok I'll wait till tommrow to see if I can give ya a better id.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
