whoa! ive never seen such a colorful cichlid before. never even heard of one! almost wants me to get one myself! lol. he must be quite large to go in with those fish! is he like SUPER aggressive like some cichlids? actually, maybe i should find out where he comes from first lol! after all, africans are much more aggressive than SA cichlids!
here is a pic of him with a jack dempsey

i just read my last post and realised i could have sounded harsh,which is the reason i don't post a lot cause i don't want to get people mad at me.
i've seen other threads and know you know your stuff,soulfish and cichlid-man
i'm not trying to make an argument,i just believe i'm right about this.

No look at the circle of colored scales around the eye. No doubt a Jack Dempsey. No other cichlid has that.
Don't want tp argue but the pic of it with your other JD, i mean comon! It looks just like it!!
http://www.cichlidae.com/gallery/He...istlanum-01.jpg - this fish's scales don't come all the way on top of the head like a JD.
You got 2 JD's bud.

yes,cichlid-man your right,i'm not afraid to admit i'm wrong
i did more digging and found someone with one of Dr. Axelrods older books and he says he found a pic that is exactly like mine and sure enouph it is Cichlosoma octofaciatus,even with the red underneath the other colors
so your telling me if those 2 fish in the pic of mine breed the fry would not be hybrids??
