Any ideas?

This guy got dropped off and i'm not too sure of who he is .Got any ideas?

Mayan cichlid. Mean buggers that get big.

Dude that's the devil him self, fern ID is correct 666 you have to take action,
ps; this has no religious message whatsoever, what other fish do you have in that tank, no cheers for that fish.

Don't Know pretty cool though

Fern is correct. Soon he will be the only thing alive in the tank.

well i have him up for adoption and had a few people interested but i wanted to make sure what he was first so i can tell them about him before they take him home

he is in with a 14" oscar -5"convict-and a few jewels that the oscar was supose to eat but are getting along fine he owns a 12'" stone tube

I caught a bunch of em,but couldnt give em away.how did you get one way up there?

got dropped off by a friend that was going to flush him

Looks like a Festae.

Lots of folks up north like the Mayans for some reason......
I caught 5 at 3-4" for my friend and she put them in a 55g, within 2 weeks there was one left...... But several years later she still has the one and it is full of personality!
But it is defiantly a fish that needs to be by itself.

Jake, they are excellent with garlic and butter!

Yep Mayan cichlid or if you want to look up info on the web scientifically known as:

cichlasoma urophthalmus

They are mean if kept with inappropriate tank mates, but middle of the road in aggression if kept in a Central American Cichlid community. No where close to Amphilophus or Parachromis in aggression. A beautiful male you have there!!!

I love loner fish...they remind me so much of myself lol

can always try a divider and tie it down good to keep him off other fish till you get rid of him
