Great looking collection of amphilophus!


As far as comparing lips, mouth/head shape etc to differentiate between a citrinellus, and a labiatus, it's not that simple. Unless you know the collection location, and buy from a trusted importer, those fish must ultimately be considered midevil crosses. See the thread below for more info.

I really wish they would make that thread a sticky, this is a common mistake made by many owners of "midas" and "red devils".

That thread should be sticky for sure. Yeah I know the location of my fish and they are for sure not midevil.
 
Great collection Earl and some good looking cichlids in there. I'm still not sure what to think about JDM but your argument is valid. :)

Thanks bro! I actually does not want my tank to be called JDM anymore. I prefer to call it "The King's Monster Community Setup".
