Question
i was told that this is a jellybean cichlid but i cant find any proof of this on the web can you help it looks like a regular parrot but the tail is oval like and seems to connect to the dorsal fin but dont pnk with black spots on it still small so not sure how to explain it if there was away to post a pick of it i would

Answer
Hi Danny,
 Jellybean cichlids are just a variety of parrot cichlids, all of which are manmade hybrids.  As such, there really isn't any sharp distinction between one kind and the next other than what someone wants to call them.
