I keep mostly Rift lake cichlids. I removed a female auratus from a tank with a few different species as she had a mouthfull of eggs. She went into a small tank until she released her young. While the rest were normal auratus this guy stood out as being completely different. At first I believed it was a baby convict cichlid that had somehow got transfered by accident. Now it has grown a bit it is definatly not a convict. It is a little over an inch and is a robust little fish. The tank it came from had the following fish Auratus (pair), Orange-top blue zebra (male), tropheus Moori (bemba), tropheus moori (Ikola). While I believe it to be a hybrid and the zebra as most likely the father it does have a body shape more like the Tropheus Moori. I keep many other fish in different tanks and none resemble this one. Any ideas welcome
