Red tiger motaguense

[Tat2_yo]

I purchased the fish from my lfs when it was around a inch... now that it has got bigger it hasn't turned red like the photos you see online, can anybody tell me what it is or is it a red tiger motaguense

Hybrid Central american cichlid. Maybe a parachromis type with carpintis

My guess would be someone crossed their red texas with a jag or some other parachromis. Looks like this fish has bit of everything so you can only speculate with a hybrid like this. Very cool though

Thats exactly what I was thinking...thanks

I can't tell but it's a beautiful fish regardless!

This fish is really a bit confusing. It has many traits but none of them really stand out

Definitely a hybrid of some sort. Here's my male RTM for comparison.
