I'm not so sure what I bought is what I have. I realize this male is young but perhaps someone can verify what type of Cyp he is. He's really starting to flash the females. Thank you!

Looks like this one to me http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=2144
But im far from being an expert so i could be wrong

His dorsal looks a bit odd for a kigoma...how big is he? if he is over 4.5 inches he is a jumbo, most likely a kig.
adult kigs should look like this. what was he supposed to be?

I bought them as Cyprichromis Leptosoma Blue Orchid "Livua" Blue Tail Males and they were juvies about 1.5 inches. Currently he is close to 3". I've seen some with the 2 marks on the front of their dorsal fin but don't remember where that was. Comparing him to a Blue Orchid here in the forum, they don't look the same.b@ssetm@n said:His dorsal looks a bit odd for a kigoma...how big is he? if he is over 4.5 inches he is a jumbo, most likely a kig.

Take a look at the blue orchids at reserve stock cichlids....not that different as he may not be in full color.
Thanks, I did and his data isn't exactly correct either because they are supposed to be jumbo's at 6" and his says 4.5" which is the smaller Cyp size. I'll wait and see what happens.b@ssetm@n said:
Ya that is a little confusing to be sure....but wait till they finish growing and you'll know. 8)
