Bandi Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I just bought a new, used tank and it came with some VERY striking fish. Can you-al help me ID them please? I put together several photos of the same fish. I don't know if the yellow and orange ones are the same species (just different sexes or different ages?) And the big blue/black fish with the big lips. He is about 8-9 inches and I am told about 3-4 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rED O Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I can't tell if the orange one is a red zebra or a male kenyi. I was thinking kenyi because of the head shape. the second is a haplochromine of some sort... sorry I can't be more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishkabod Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I wish i could help but i'm no good at most ID so i've found a great resource. The people here are wonderful with ID but sometimes it can be difficult if not impossible to id without seeing it in person or a really really good photo. Here is the site Cichlid ID First find the right body shape then go for colours. I wish i could help more Good luck L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayfong Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 The second picture could be Protomelas ornatus (Haplochromis flavimanus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
