Hello, I would like to ask what type of Cichla I have. They are 3 and I bought them some months ago as Kelberi. Now that they have reach almost 20cm i would like to know for sure the type. Maybe hybrids?

I used to have the same, if you treat them well they will develop great colours. I asked all kinds of experts what they are, but noone could give me an answer. They are likely some hybrid. Here is some picture how they look older (ignore the wound, he hit some wood)

I bought them as Cichla sp. Colombia, but some experts said they look captive bred do to the shorter Tail. I gave up un figuring out what they are.
