| Some more new changes, or I'm just unobservant, but I was bringing in all the pond plants the last day or two, and as I was putting some in her tank I noticed her eyes are blue. |

| Woah. If I'm not sure if she's entirely Archocentrus spilurus but she's definitely got some. Of the images I'm seeing online the eyes match as well as the spangles in the back of the top fin.
I haven't come across any that have the pink she's showing yet though. |

I've never seen a pink spilurum, though some will get orange or yellow on them. May be the angle of the photo, but to me the rostrum appears too long for a Cryptoheros sp. Ya might try looking up pics of Cryptoheros, esp. C. panamensis, C. chetumalensis and C. cutteri, all have pinkish color phases. The first two aren't especially common though. I'd like to get my hands on some of the chetumalensis. FWIW, I'm not especially wavering from an Amphilophus of some type, midas cichlids have blue eyes occassionally as well. Sorry MC.

| Well, she's laid twice now alone in a tank. So at the kids request I divided out a 75 and put the rotten bastard RD on one side and her on the other. Some crazy mutts they will undoubtedly be, but they'll make my kids and the now three snapping turtles here happy. |
