He almost looks like the Texas Cichlid I had once!Originally Posted by Flatcoatluver
This is one of the rescue's I was given from the school, I got three fish from them and I know the other two are goldfish. But I can't figure out what this guy is. He eats goldfish flakes but he doesn't look like a goldfish to me. These pics arn't the best but maybe you can help still??

A cichlid needs a species only tank, 35 gallon at least, and no goldfish flakes. The goldfish should have 15-20 gallons and get pellets, flakes tend to build air up in their stomachs. What kind of goldfish is it?

Oh thats good then for the goldies. I don't know how the cichlid and goldies lived together if they did. As the commons get older you might notice that they outcompete the fancy goldfish.
