Good question... I did a google search on them yesterday and notice a color variation... Maybe its from more dominant gene?

It's a geographical variant, though I don't know from what drainage. These guys all look different depending on where they were collected.

I'd ask over on www.cichlidae.com as Juan Artigas knows a ton about Mexican cichlids.

Here's a photo of a male taken by Aquamojo.

There was one at the ACA this year. It has pics posted somewhere. Nice fish indeed.

Is it the 6" male?

Yezzir, I was actually suppose to buy it weeks ago but I've been moving so many fish around. I actually still have a few to find new homes for.

You are lucky. I almost purchased it last week myself!
