I forgot the name of the other one I like. Something like "escudendo" I believe. Most cichlids are beautiful though, except the mutilated ones. :duh:
I believe your likely thinking about the Escondido.

My fish

Like everyone else, I think my fish are the best.However I dont have the names of all of my fish.Take a look.The names I do know are the Electric blue, Ruby Red Peacock, Sunshine Peacock.
I managed to add a little file get your microscopes out.You cant tell from the pic but the top one has a yellowish body with really nice red fins, and to top it all off with a great metallic blue face.

Nice. Sounds like they are pretty aggressive though. I wonder how they would do with BP's and a Chocolate? hmmmm I would hate to get rid on my silver dollars and bala but if it would work I would do it! HA!
