Red Synspillum

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That doesn't look like any Synspillum I've ever seen. This is my V Synspillum...aka Redheaded cichlid or Quetzal. He looks more like a midas.

Nice looking fish but the poor thing is WAY TOO BIG for the tank he's in. I feel really sorry for him. :(

He is not a synspilum, sorry to say, but still a beautiful fish.
 
He likes being where he is to try to kill everything that passes. I have to figure out what other tank will fit in that space and be bigger than the 38 he has now.
 
Thats a red shock or rose queen (not too sure the exact difference).

Looks similar to my rose queen in body shape too:

From what I have read, they do have synspillum in the mix.

Nice fish, but I have to agree with the others, get him a bigger tank!
