	Mystery Cichlid?
Fish Guy Mega Fish Posts: 1091 Kudos: 1254 Votes: 2 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	At one of the local fish stores here they are this new cichlid in and im not sure what it is. They have it labeled as a Flowerhorn but its definatly not that, it looks just like a female red terror but instead of red its greyish with black stripes, and it still has that Y shaped strip which tells red terrors from others. Anyway could you possibley give me some clues to what it might be? _________________ matthew penney

The problem with IDing flowerhorns is that no two are the same. Some can look identical to one of its parents and then fish that are spawned alongside it are completely different Josh
