| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:Best kept in species tanks or with other medium sized semi-aggressive/aggressive American Cichlids. Must not be kept with fish small enough to be eaten nor with much larger aggressive fish. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Not a fussy eater and will take many foods such as Cichlid pellets, [[daphnia]] and [[bloodworms]]. | |

| − | + | |identification=:Red-orange in colour, with a short, almost stunted, round laterally compressed body. The mouth on this truly stands out as, because of the hybridisation, it is unable to close it's mouth fully. Due to the hybridisation they also often have other abnormalities such as deformed [[swimbladder]]s, stunted spines and oddly, exceptionally large irises. | |
