Hello,

I picked up a pair of cichlids that even the store could not id, and I was hoping that someone on this board would be able to do so. Thanks for the help.

Peacock as in bass, or as in African? The reason I ask it that they said that there were some p-bass in that tank, but did not think these were they. This is not from a LFS, it is from one of the chains with far less knowledge of what they are selling than petsmart or petco.
 
i meant peacock....he face of it has my a confused as do the fins....its throwing me off.

it also has a bit of a an off body shape for tilapia, tilapia is a bit wider bodied.

has a mouth like a tilapia, it could be a juvenile t. mariae
 
yes the mouth is true but something about the body being longer and thinner than tilapia still hs e weird. i dunno just my experience.
 
I guess that I will try posting again in a month or so after they have had some growth. Thanks for the help.
