CommentsFish was removed from the wild and kept in aquarium by collector. Identification photos sent to Adam Cohen (ichthyology collection manager, Texas Natural History Collection). Mitochondrial DNA analysis by Kevin Conway (Texas A&M University) indicates female parent is Amphilophus trimaculatus, but orange coloration not known from species and suggests hybrid origin. Observation also recorded in iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/127536705)
