I'm pretty sure they are either honduran red points or they could be Cryptoheros spilurus.

I have these in a 20 gal to breed for feeders for my jag thinkin that I had purchased convicts at least that is how the LFS had them displayed and indeed they have already had eggs and now have swimmers.

Do you know how big these fish get?

I don't think so. Looks like spilurum and something else.

Those don't look like convicts to me but i REALLY like them. What site did you see them at? I want some lol. Not HRP either.

I bought these at the LFS, as they had them displayed as convicts, and they were only 3/4 of an inch.

Sajica....female I think.

The 1st 4 pics are all pics of one fish I thought was female and last 4 pics are of same fish i thought were male.

Gorgeous fish. My opinion is C. sajica as well.

They look too dark to be cryptoheros sajica but it maybe the breeding colors. The t-bar Cichlids as they are sometimes called have more bar or stripes. They color looks too dark too me. But besides that it is very close.

What about Archocentrus septemfasciatus? Well one thing is for sure it is a CA cichlid. They are really pretty I would want some of the babies.

What a gorgeous little fish. If they stayed that color all the time I'd be placing an order for a group tomorrow!
