Corn, the fish in this vid is actually a female! Her and my hybrid have been clearing around the tank a bit. She's probably close to 5" now

hybrid of what?

To me, IMO, the look like Hemichromis elongatus. Like a regular 5-star general cichlid. Anyone else have a picture of a large one? Like 6-12" ,maybe??? I've never seen one in person. Only in a book or on the internet. Thanks.

There are WC Fasciatus available right now. Check aquatic clarity and Rehoboth aquatics!

These are Hemichromis Fasciatus. The pictures on the net are not accurate which is why the names get mixed up all the time. Hemichromis Elongatus is the smallest of the 5 spots species. They have a completely different color to them and tend to get some reds between the 5 spots.
