Re: help!! what is this fish called?????

I woudl guess that it is a central american cichlid because of the larger and wider body shape.

My Dear Watson, I believe I have solved the case of the missing identity!!

It's because I'm amazing. I know it. I'm just a bright ray of sunshine to this lonely forum!!


(hahaha I'm so full of crap. I just was bored and looked up different chiclids that I thought it might look like!! Got lucky I remembered this one.)

Re: help!! what is this fish called?????

I'm pretty positive it's the Texas Cichlid.

And yes! Bluer IS a word. I checked the dictionary!
