bidkev Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Not enough vertical bars for convict hybrid. My money's on a tri-mac or low grade FH/devil hybrid due to the number of vertical bars. Low grade FH's often retain the bars of the tri-mac. Cross this old one of mine with a red devil and would you have something like yours? You never know what you're buying from that place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernando Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I would say it's crossed with a kamfa 99% of kamfa cross females will be like yours So I would say devil x kamfa ( flowerhorn) by the pics but it's like a box of choc buying from that place you never know what you get Looking at the strips and tail and fins that's what I would say it is ...

tuffy_rana Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 red isletas cichlid - Google Search is the closest thing weve found to her on the net but does anyone know how these are made are they purebred or hybrid? being that the "red isletas" is from the same amphilophus family its not a stretch but i have not seen them in oz yet i would say devil that hasnt morphed yet and a small percentage dont or like bidkev said a trimac cross devil. convict cross.....not a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosequoll Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 My first thought is a devil that never changed colour. We have one at work, all the rest of the tankmates are 80-100% 'red' now but one is bigger than most of the others and still has 'baby' colours.
