i would say that your first fish looks like herichthys sp. Turquoise

 

[green_terror]

or it may be herichthys deppii

 

[cichlidinsomniac]

could be h. deppi or h. sp."poza rica" http://www.tangledupincichlids.com/images/poza.male.jpg

and whats with everyone instantly thinking something is a hybrid if they dont have a clue what it is

Good call, that's a definate possiblity.

To those who have never seen a grammodes cross with something else, I have on another forum....

I am going with exactly what jloos said. Looks like it has the face of a grammode and a the body of a texas/carpinte. Where'd you get all this stuff? I'm from Michigan and so is jloos. I've got some regular saggitae, I'm assuming you got the "white race saggitae" from Rapps?

That is a regular sagittae. Non-breeding individuals of the barred forms of Amphilophus sagittae, A. zaliosum (Although there is no non-barred form that we know of), A. xiloaensis, etc. show the primarily gray/white that broberts's fish shows. The juvenile sagittae that Rapps currently has for sale are xanthic; showing a primarily orange/yellow/white colors in a solid pattern.

what do you mean by "non-breeding individuals?" Mine are still young, haven't bred and are still darker colored.
