Vieja fenestratus or what?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hard to know at that size, could be fenestratus, coatzacoalcos, guttulatus, zonatus. With out any history behind the origins always going to be a bit of a guessing game.
 
I agree with dan518, at this point it looks pretty generic Vieja, so it could be all the ones he listed, and including hartwegi or even a young bifas, or a Vieja hybrid, that is, if it didn't come from a respected cichlid seller.
Below is a young bifasciatum.

Its probably easier to rule what it may not be
a V maculacauda or breidhori
a young breidhori below

below adult breidhori
