Red terror ID

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My buddy has a breeding pair of Mayans 5" and they killed everything else in the tank, a 6' 125. The male would jump outta the tank to bite him when they had fry in the tank.

I'd say its male they tend to have more red in there fins and have an over all shinier look to them
 
your Uro is a male, females, like salvinis, have a big black blotch in the dorsal fin.
 
I like the mayan's... My LFS had some mixed in with convicts a few years back.. It was labeled as "Assorted CA Cichlids", only charging $3.49 each. I kick myself for not buying some as they have never received them back in.
 
Male mayan cichlids will get around 12'' so it looks like that one still has some growing to do

I loved my old mayan but man he was an A hole he started out as a cute little 1''-2'' fish that stuffed his face with anything and everything he could he grew fast when he hit the 4'' mark he really got aggressive Constantly chaseing my old female JD around and when he got to around 5'' he tried to challenge my 7'' jaguar cichlid and put up a really good fight so i had to divide him ( unfortunetly the two needlefish i had at the time both jumped the divider to his side and wouldn't jump back over and he killed them ) :( so i sold him i wan't to get another eventualy though
 
My myan is about 5-6" right now. It's not really that aggresive but will chasa my JD once and awhile. But it won't back down from my bigger maculicauda and managuenese.I guess I will wait and see how this fish turns out. Thanks fo the ID on the fish everybody.
