Sounds like some kind of severum to me. Does it look anything like any of these? (coloration doesn't have to be spot-on, their coloration is highly variable)

Convicts are South American btw.

Not unless Nicaragua moved to South America.

OP This is a butti, a sp. of tilapia for reference, but it doesn't look like this one?

When you mentioned red ends to the fin I thought Gold Saum False Green Terror

An apisto also vaguely fits your description, but I don't think they'd spawn that easily?

beyond that I'm stumped.

^^^ This post is a perfect example of how overly general the OP's description was.

SteveR >> Not everybody has the time and inclination to take photographs of fishes. I guess i will just go pick up the fries and see what they grow into.

LOL but you have time to spend on here post after post with us all trying to guess what it is? I don't get why it's so time consuming...but Ok!

souinds more like a mangrove jack than a cichlid.

anyone who says they dont have time to post a pic is bsing because if he has no time to take a pic then how does he have the time to talk on here with us. There are like dozens ir not more many more fish that it could be. until he post a pic no one should respond to this thread because its a waste of time and everyone one else should be helping ppl who really want it instead of playing games with us

It's evident he wants us to do all the work isn't it! We don't need a shot that takes 4 hours to light and setup, just a crap point and click will do dude, how long does that take you?

I fully agree with what you've said!
