This week we caught several of these dark purple fish while going for red devils. I've seen white Red Devils .... orange ones.... orange/white ones..... orange/white/black ones.... but never a dark purple Red Devil.
It looks like a red devil... except for the color...
But I've never caught a red devil this color before.
Is it just a red devil of another color or something else.???
Now this is a "Red" Devil.

Hey Stan,
Check out this website...

My guess...maybe a Amphilophus hogaboomorum? It's a close relative of the red devil.
Or maybe a barred Midas (Amphilophus citrinellus)?
If I have time, I would browse through all of them and help you ID it...but since I have 3 weeks left until I go on vacation, I gotta finish some work...so you're on you own this time

my guess as to the type of fish
My guess would be that it is a frontosa cichlid. There are several color variations, and they are very popular fish to keep. The most common is black and white, but I have seen several that are more red but not exactly like the one in the picture.
