What Kind of Cichlid ?

Post by eldaduz »

Hi,

Can you please tell me the name of the yellow body and red belly fish in the picture.

People told me : red sateen, Salvini Cichlid.

My idea is some kind of Red terror.

Thanks.

Eldaduz,

It sort of does look like a ex-Cichlasoma salvani, but if you google the scientific name, and then hit images, you will see that your fish is a little different then what is pictured. Either it has been inbred or crossed with another type of fish. The first issue is the horizontal spotting it doesn't look right.

So sorry, I am not much help.

Cichlid Power!
