ITS CICHLA INTERMEDIA?! I never knew anyone had those things!

I think its a hybrid of Intermedia and ocelleris because these bass do not have more than 3 stripes.

Got them from a farm in Malaysia... so probably hybridized...
 
That blue is a sheen typically seen on most cichla.. the quality of the blue varries from specimen to specimen.

THat is one of the new "Spaff's" that hit the market around a year ago or so..

Cichla sp. aff. Orinocensis, I believe is what Jeff Rapps had it tagged as, then Red1 (online Cichla man) made up the nick "Spaff"

That is NOT one of the smallest species, Its the second largest.. Its just another color morph of Orinocensis.. Once that fish gets more size, it will lose its awesome speckling and start turning out more like a normal Orino.

good luck... awesome fish, lets pray he keeps most of the gold colors!

Yes it gets more vibrant then drops. typically..

I hope yours keeps it. Although IME they dont.
 
Damn dude. That is one impressive looking cichla :hearts:
 
Some dude dropped one off at my work in a bucket, then hauled ass outta there.
He was at least 9-10".
He he is crucially all bent up from being in a tank that was WAY too small for him for too long.
