JORG Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 These guys came in from Peru, I think I know what they are but I am not positive. There are 2 different species in the pics - both unidentified. They are between 5 - 7 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 They look like cichlid fry to me - an Apisto, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie1978 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 The "fatter" ones I'd almost swear were Aphistogramma Borelli fry but not 100%. The smaller clear fish with the stripe and touch of red on its tailfin looks like a Trochilocharax Ornatus > Crystal Rainbow Tetra. They do have a tetra look to them and if they are CRT, congrats. Everything I've looked at says they're rare. Most people mistake them for Bloodfin Tetras. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yes the small clear ones are looking like the crt's I received before, but hard to tell till they put on some more meat. I don't think the others are Cichlids, when they are not eating they lay on the bottom of the tank flat on their sides - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 they are interesting to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Gotta love the random feeders they'll send up. Could be tilapia - I've got one that I just needed to know what it was so I grew it out, though admittedly those do look different at this size.

PistolPete Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 they almost look like a flat fish. Like their eyes are starting to migrate. haha some sort of flatfish would be cool! Id take ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Got a couple new pics this morning - these guys are pigs putting on a little depth now at 1 cm. I'm positive now they are not a Cichlid. And the other one is for sure a CRT Edited April 1, 2012 by JORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
