[jiapei]

jiapei, those are some very nice looking cichla, I believe to be cichla sp.”PERU Rio ITAYA” ocellaris ...I wish we had such a variety available here in the US as you have over there....here is a good color pic of a 6-7"er. your will change color and pattern as they develop more.Of course I could be wrong as there are alot of sp variants out there,but have seen these guys being sold on your end of the world recently in higher numbers...watch the eyes,if the begin turning red and staying it may well be..but they do have a monoculus cut between the dorsal and posterior..so they could be a var. monoc.

wow.. i must be very lucky
lfs said he had kept those fish (20 pbass) for nearly half a year,but nobody showed interests, and still 10 pbass left.
so i paid 90RMB(12 USD) and got this pair

If those fish are 18 months old they are stunted. I don't believe they are that old.
