need ID aequidens species?

[dogofwar]

Most likely Cichlasoma amazonarum or less likely Aequidens tetramerus. Without knowing from where they originate it's not possible to know.

I have those and they are definitely different. From the colours, markings and the jaw. These guys jaws open wider, I've seen them eat bigger tetras from the store I got them. My cichlasoma amazonarum are with bonita tetras and mollies. I've never lost any other than some of the fry.
