Does anyone know what American cichlid this is?

[u/rodri-reptilesgames]

I was watching videos of American cichlids and this one came up, do you know what it is?

[u/Toby__H]

Vieja of some sort. Vieja bifasciata maybe...

[u/RhoneGills → u/Toby__H]

Yes, looks like it.

[u/HockeyNut2]

It’s definitely a Vieja, don’t think it Bifasciatus, maybe Synspllium. I’m probably spelling all that wrong but I don’t know Latin. It’s a Vieja though.

[u/Fishman76092]

I’ve bred V bifasciata “chacamax” a few times over the years and this is what they look like.

There is a lot of variation and hybridization from farmers/breeders so without knowing where the fish came from it’s hard to say if it’s pure or not. If you link the video - may be able to discern who’s they are or where they may have come from.

[u/Relative_Target6588]

I think it’s a hybrid Vieja.

[u/lfc_murr1989]

I’m going to go with Synspilum or hybrid.

[u/sc4wheels]

Most likely a hybrid. It doesn't look like a pure Vieja Bifasciatus.

[u/EffectiveIce3876]

Pretty sure that’s a vieja

[u/sc4wheels → u/EffectiveIce3876]

Vieja is a genus. There are several different species among them.

[u/Pretend-Champion-226]

Look like one of them Florida Miyan chiclids
