Juvenile Cichla ID thread

[Nove Sedici]

Can someone ID these guys? Bought them as Azuls at around 3” biggest one is pushing 7” now and more and more looking like Tems.

What do you all think?

A local LFS is selling this guy. They are saying it was sold to them as a Kelberi but they are thinking it could be an azul. What do you all think?

Ya it looked pretty frail. Super sensitive when they are so young.
