My first post here. I really enjoy this forum. Excellent content and the forum theme is great.
I recently acquired this pair of a blue-finned convict cichlid. They are of unknown province or location. Some well-respected and knowledgeable breeders have suggested they are a very clean form of A. nigrofasciata or A. siquia, not appearing to be a washed out HRP or hybrid HRP x nigrofasciata. I tend to agree. They have very good body form, markings and colors. There are in fact, in the wild, naturally occurring A. nigrofasciata (as identified by field researchers) with blue fins that are not HRP or hybrids, just naturally occurring color morphs. Here are some photos. Enjoy.
