Neil this question is going to be brought up forever, it's like the dovii in the 55 gallon tank. Some people have their mind made up and just want someone to tell them what they want to hear.
To that end I would tell the OP your fish is absolutly 100% Amphilophus _______________ fill in the species of your choice and put this puppy to bed.
Wow you are hilarious, are you joking and just trying to get a rise out of people?? Really! I have been following this thread and the guys with a heck of alot of experience have told you and helped you with exactly what you wanted to know!
They are basically telling you that your fish is a mut for the reasons that are in the links they posted that you did not read obviously! you have no solid evidence that he is a pure breed so what do you keep chirping about, just like a dog that is a mut that nobody knows where he came from he might look like an american staffordshire terrier or maybe a Staffordshire bull terrier if he is a stray NOBODY WILL KNOW.
you get called ignorant because of your replys!!
I think Tom put it best here. Your not going to be able to determine what is it just by looking at it so essentially all you can do is call it what you feel comfortable calling it. If you want to call it a Red Devil by all means do, but there is no one person here who can tell you what it truly is.
Show's your lack of maturity. Your quite infantile, maybe MFK should create a juvenile section for naive people like you.

You don't like it bro, theres the door. I have done nothing wrong. After they add that juvenile section for me they can add a self delusional section for you![]()
