Hi Woodie,

Sorry i can't be more help but take a look at this site http/www.jjphoto.dk/fish_archive/ab_index_cichlider.htm and hopefully you'll find it.

Hi there,

Not the best of pictures for an ID, but it looks suspiciously like you have found yourself with a juvenile Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus).

Have a look at this picture of a juvenile >

If it is an Oscar, then that pattern that you like won't last for long!!

Regards

Andrew

it could be an osacr but i defo looks like some type of chiclid!
it looks very similar to the juvi oscar though.I hope you have a very big tank if it is an oscar!

Oscars are cichlids!
Looks like an Oscar to me too.

Oh dear.

to me it dosnt look like a young oscar as i have had one of these before , will try and get a better pic of it.

if it does turn out to be an oscar, it can go in with my RTC
