Help Identifying A Fish

[martinglover]

Can anyone help me identify the photo attached? I thought it was a fire mouth ciclid at first but appears not. Any help advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

Martin

Striped cichlid, perhaps?

Cichlasoma severum?

Sorry, not great with cichlids...

Hehe, glad I could be of some help!

Looks a little like a female mikrogeophagus altispinosus ?

Yup, severum, confusing nowadays as you tend to see the colour morphs more often than the true fish.

Definitely a Severum and judging by the amount of blue in the face one of sp.Belem descent

some kind of cichlid, looks like a bigger version of the blue rams I saw at the store today.

I think we can now all agree it is a severum of some kind or another. Bizarre looking severum, very pretty!

I think it is something like a Gymnogeophagus balzani or a relative of the acara maybe?
