Looks like a green firemouth.... Dont think they even exist, but thats all I can see... I really think he/she is super cool lookin though.

 

[HALP]

I agree with bassman. Looks like a barred amp that is peeling.

Well here is a couple updated pics of my PetSmart unknown. It is starting to look like a wonderful Red Devil.

WOW, that really changed big time!

 

[Madness]

Yes it did. I am a bit disappointed. I kinda figured it was a form of Red Devil, but was hoping for something cool. Who knows, it still may continue to change, and end up looking really cool.

The eyes are no longer red either. They changed to BLACK. Kinda creepy looking. :affraid:

 

[Bassman42]

It looks like a nice Red Devil, too bad it peeled all the black off though. Still nice pick up!

Now that is a cool collection of before and after pictures. Well done Madness. Thanks for sharing those and maybe throw in an update as the fella gets bigger.

I am almost behind the green terror x firemouth theory, but the barring is so perfect it makes me wonder if it is it's own species. I would try and find a forum with tons of central americans and post some pics, or a find a list of central american pics and start comparing.

 

[sandnuka]

Except the new pictures are 100% red devil! I just cant believe the color change between the original pictures and the new pictures..... cause yeah, green terror x firemouth is all I saw in that first pic.

 

[me]

Wow, I missed those new pics! Crazy. Anyone have some other pics of Juvie Red Devils? That's quite the change. Cool looking fish. OB devil ?

 

[Fern]

Its a baby red devil. I got to watch a bunch of them grow up in my lfs and thats the standard change they make.

 

[Madness]

Ya, you should see him/her now. Big change. I will go take a couple pics and post them in a bit.

And now there is no doubt !

 

[Madness]

Ok here it is.

Definitely changed.

 

[Madness]

Oh wait, wrong pic. That's my new Red Devil. I hope the white remains. Here is the little guy as of today.



Yep, this him/her..... 8)

 

[sandnuka]

Those black eyes are so creepy. I love it! and I like the white/orange guy too.... my favorite is white midas/red devils

I wish I had looked at this topic earlier! Bulldogg7 on another forum that I'm on takes incredible pictures and has been updating with shots of his red devils and their babies so you can follow along on the changes. Here's a link to page 10 ... http://www.riftlakecichlids.com/ca-photos-f16/red-devils-t29-225.htm

 

[Madness]

WOW..... Thanks for the link. Those are amazing pictures. I am going to find out how to take pics that good. I promise you.

At least I am going to try. :

 

[me]

Yeah those are some great shots especially at the end.

 

[sandnuka]

I had no clue they came out green and so dirty lookin when young.... Its awesome! and yeah, those shots are very sweet..... need a good DSLR camera for that...
