Aquatic Plant Central - View Single Post - Black patches and dots on Red parrot cichlid

As they are hybrid fish between 2 or more species of cichlid (no one seems quite sure which but Severums and Red Devils or Midas cichlids and a number of other Central Amercians have been suggested) then all sorts of charactertistics can crop up as the fish grow. Are they black patches of colouration or distinct small spots? If you can get a photo then we might be able to say for sure.
