I just got this little guy and know very little about him. I thought maybe a Texas but I have heard he's not. He's definitely fiesty but not a killer yet. Any info on this guy would be great. Max size, where it's from, what it is lol. I bought little bugger because I couldn't resist it's color and activity.

I’m no Cichlid expert but He looks like an electric blue jack Dempsey, little washed out In color. Maybe still settling in? Again I’m no Cichlid expert, I’m just guessing bc he looks like my own EBJDs

Cute little fellow you got. I am no Texas cichlid expert but I don't think they have those red eyes, so may be a flowerhorn. I am sure soon enough one will drop in and let us know what he is.

Looks like an Escondido Carpinte - maybe a Rio Hondo Carpinte
Escondido carpintenis!? If he looks anything like this when he gets bigger I will be one happy fella.
