Help me identify this cichlid
« 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

Thats different.

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)

I couldnt tell you but I second that it does look like it has some Victorian in I almost looks like it has some jewel cichlid in it but I couldnt tell you. No matter the fish is very colorful that is for sure! And very cool!

I agree that's what he looks like to me and I've searched high and low to find a picture that resembled him but nothing

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.
