what do we know about this cichlid?

[juanveldez]

my wife and I were talking shop and she asked me a question about a fish that I had never seen before.... Herichthys longimanus what do we know about it?

Try cichlasoma longimanus to find info

Are you sure it's Herichthys and not Amphilophus??

 

[semper fi]

found it classified as both. herichthys trade name is redbreasted cichlid and amphilophus is rose breasted cichlid.

I've never heard of it.

when I did a google on it I also found it as both.. that is why I asked as they change the darn classifications so often. heck these days you could buy a book that was published the same day and by the time you get home it is outdated.
