Red Terrors are considered one of the most aggressive cichlids but also one of the most beautiful. Adult males have a light green to iridescent green body with six to eight light blue to black, transverse stripes. The belly and the throat is pink. The dorsal fin is bright blue and the last few rays are violet. The anal and caudal fins are violet-pink in color, and the pelvic fin is sky blue. Females, during spawning, are bright fire red. The body is marked with six to eight, transverse stripes. The fins are also bright red, and the dorsal fins has a large black spot. The front rays of the dorsal fin are black. A black marking runs from the forehead to the eye. At non-breeding times, the female has a sliver-red body color and red fins, with the alternating black stripes. The true Red Terror is often mistaken for the Mayan cichlid...Cichlasoma uropthalmus. The easiest way to distinguish the two is that the second vertical bars will form a Y on the upper portion of the body on Amphilophus festae. All bars on Cichlasoma uropthalmus are strictly vertical and will not intersect. www.fishprofiles.com Some great videos below showing the breeding colors of this beautiful fish
