how is this fish different from a barred midas or a chancho? i've never really understood what makes them different...?

amphilophus are tough to tell a part, my saggitaes could pass off as barred midas to most of the users on this site, as could chancho's and a few others amphiliphus sp. but from what I have seen the red isletas all have nice red eyes, shorter bodies, and monsterous humps. I honestly have yet to see a ugly one posted. They are all great looking fish.
 
dont forget amarillo's i sure thought the one i have in my avatar was a barred midas.
