Two face!!! Have you recently added any new stock?
:iagree:

I would say somehow there ended up a piebald gene in that AWESOME Cichla!!! :D
 
wow john, i've only been around peacock bass for a few years, never seen anything like it..

hope he's not sick.. but he does look amazingly cool like that!!
 
thats one of those one of a kind fish that you could strap on a huge dollar sign on. I love it!
 
wow looks unique! Either way hes a keeper!
 
WOW John, never seen a P look like that before.. Looks cool as heck to me though...
 
Ive seen young FL Cichla go through half black stages, but its always that..a phase...and when young. In adults I have come across this with FL Peas, and Tems. I Believe DanH had a similar experience with one of His tems. In every one of the Adults that changed 'overnight' it was due to injury. Its basically bruising. The fish may act normal, it may not. Keep an eye on him, If his behaviour changes, lack of eating, its not a fun road. The bruising eventually subsides and you see a light hint of redish pink to the area, the massive HITH takes over, the fish may die, or it may survive but pretty disfigured. Just letting you know from my experience Its usually been around the head...fish has been startled and slammed into a wall somewhere full speed. Hopefully this is something else, hormonal, genetic, environmental, could be anything...keep us posted and good luck.
 
I wonder if that was my original Pbass that's now in your tank.:D
 
how big is he john? first thing that comes to mind is 2 face...lol...he looks good!!
