fatpuffer Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 I bought this from a petland red deer. It was in a tank marked "barred midas". They were all grey and barred but one stood out and bought it. It appeared to be short bodied. When I first got him home: Today: Video https://www.facebook.com/jonah.saringo/videos/989720914559604/?t=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 That really looks like an hybrid. The odd body shape is reminiscent of the parrot cichlids. That coloration looks like a firemouth, so I'm wondering if someone crossed a firemouth with something like a midas, or one of the smaller CA cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 possibly. the rest of the 'midas' in the tank looked normal. the body is not like a parrot fish that look more round...this one is laterally compressed but short body like parrot. whatever it is ...I like it. the colour has not changed where the top half is grey with barring. more so during feeding time.
