Looks like Cichlasoma spinosissimum ( the false blue eyed cichlid )

Thanks dandanuk

i disagree

herichthys spirilus
cichlasoma spirilus

or possibly if not above

cichlsoma cutteri

I agree with yourmylunch, though it's now classified as Cryptoheros spilurus. I don't think it's cutteri....cutteri have a different coloration.

hi i'll throw my guess in . i would say you have a male long fined convict or a texas cichlid...hope you find out soon..

 

[mohinder]

That's a spilurum--Jade Eye as you thought. I've also owned the spinossisimus, and the Spino has more pepper-like speckles on it.

i think a female archocentus septemfasciatus
