hello, i am needing a 2nd opinion on this fish.
i first posted about this fish back on 3-16-08, was in a mixed africans tank.
here are the original 2 photos i had posted...
sometimes i looked like this:
and other times i looked like this:
this is what people said they thought he/she was:
opinion #1: looks more to me like a male cynotilapia sp. of some type...possibly cynotilapia sp "Black Eastern" or cynotilapia ap. "Mbweca"
opinion #2: It is a Sciaenchromis fryeri, possibly a hybrid, most definately has been hormoned in the past.
opinion #3: was told to me by lfs: a female afra another employee said no some sort of hybrid peacock.
but i now look different than original photos and would love to repost this fish to see if any opinions change or if it is indeed the fryeri. here are the new pics: lots of them but all are of the same fish.
the top fin is now orange where before it was yellow.
he/she now is always light colored but the barring darkens sometimes.
the anal fins have a blue tint to them but appear to be white.
also male or female? thanks! :thumb:
