[Manu8__too]

F1 Rapps Amphilophus Xiloaensis. Had him back in 2012. Really cool fish!

 

[duanes]

Many of those listed, are no longer considered part of the genus Amphilophus, due to DNA sequencing, and other considerations.
A number I have kept that you list, are now considered Astatheros.
Here are a few
Astatheros robertsoni

Astatheros rostratus

nourisatti

Astatheros longimanus

I also believe alfari, altifrons, rhystisma, and calobrensus are considered Astatheros , there may be more
But here are a couple of the real Amphilophus
Amphilophus amarillo

and Amphilophus flaveolus

 

[Andy woods cichlids uk]

My Trimaculatus and Chancho

 

[sbgbuddy]

Xiloaensis,citrinellus,labiatus,Amarillo, red islatas, Chancho,

 

[smitty03281964]

This thread has me kicking myself for never getting pictures of my Midas cichlids back in the mid 1990's. I see very few that could hold a candle to them. I had some Hogs 4 years ago but due to a power outtage that lasted a few days I lost a lot.

Is there any Amphilophus species least aggressive - Possibly have tankmates ??
