Need help identifying wild CICHLID

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
View attachment 979382 This is a photo of another gold Pearl I own. The father died at eight years old. This fish at this size looks just like him. He is not related.
I have no photos of the actual one. He was so easy to breed. No fight in him at all. He has dozens of adult offspring with different mothers and no two seem to be the same strain. I also have a red ZZ male who has fathered dozens of living adults and everyone of them look just like him. Breeding seems to be a strange science.

woaahh ! was he white when he was born? cuz it really looks like a faded red dragon. lol

I have no idea of the actual bloodline of this fish. His colors are getting much darker. PINK. You could be right.
 
looks like tilapia to me. lol (referring to my tilapia in my pond which also is very white) but i cant really tell, almost impossible to identify unless we can catch it.
I'll try to get more photos. Most fish are larger and most have orange blotches.
