Title: Help me identify this cichlid
Post by: Loon36cf on June 03, 2013, 03:04:26 AM: I got this guy a while back and was very grey now he is coloring up and I'm unsure what he is based on the different coloration he's getting

I am curious to see what everyone has to say. Almost looks like a Victorian crossed with a Peacock.

(but as always with ID of fish... I dont know crap)

Ya he is similar but he has reds and purples in him I think he might just be a hybrid of some sort

Royal Oak Tropical & Bird?
I was in there Saturday & they have tons of hybrids (labeled as such) There's a strong chance it is hybrid already, going by looks, now I'd just count it as one.

Post by: Loon36cf on June 03, 2013, 10:00:48 PM: Ya that store it wasn't labeled as anything really at all he said he didn't know what kind it was and just have me a price but ya I will count it as a hybrid for sure either way I love his coloration
