Another ID Request?
This guy was in an unlabled tank at about 2"...
It looked just like a Salvini... I suspected male...
Well about 6 months later it's definitely not a Salvini... but it has a crush on my female Salvini... who hates him...
What is he?
![]()
He has the exact body shape as a Jag... but based on coloration & pattern he definitely is not a Jag...
I can only imagine it is in the same family as Jags… Here is the species list in our Profiles section for Parachromis:
http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/c ... php?cat=40
After looking over those profiles I would lean toward Mota first… with loisellei & friedrichsthalii both possibilities… Yet in all reality I have to accept it is possibly a hybrid of two or more of the fish mentioned…
I have to emphasize how prominent his red freckles area… they are dots not squiggles… and they are throughout almost his entire body…
