What species of fish is this?

[EugeneB]

These two just had babies. Just curious what kinda of cichlid these are? Anyone?

[RedParrotBubbles85]

They look like either red devils or midas cichids. Good luck with the babies. let the parents tend to them for a couple of weeks and than if you are willing to raise the babies put them in a seperate tank and feed baby brine shrimp, finely crushed flakes, or other foos small enough for them to eat.HTH.

its a 100 gallon tank with many fish so i took the babies out. but i found one that is much bigger then the rest. Could have he hatched very early or come from some other fish?

[SuperDave9x19]

that single large one likely just got a little bigger while a little stronger and smarter than others and went to cannabalism and REALLY outgrew his siblings.

That ones a keeper. cull the others.

There Hybrids of Red Devils and Midas cichlids, be careful, the male might kill the female out of agression for its young.

How can you tell for sure that they're hybrids?

[SuperDave9x19]

i believe most assume hybridization of those species unless bought from an advanced source.

Midas cichlids. Not hybrid but young. :)
