Not familiar with too many victorian species but he looked nice for being only an inch and a half long or so. I picked him up for 3$ from a LFS who are fairly knowledgeable except the employee who I got yesterday( there are only two employee's the owner and his "friend") Anyway I have guesses but would prefer y'alls opinion.

Astatotilapia latifasciata Maybe????? http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1556

That was one of my guesses, but the juvie I have doesnt have nearly the dominate black stripes that I have seen on others. Thanks rgr4475

its a haplochromis Sp. 44 Red fin. Another name for it is the hap "Thick skin" They are awesome, have 3 in my tank. Females are very colorful.

Edit: Never mind noticed it was only an inch. The coloration is consistent with adult red fins. However theyre more of a silver when juvi. Your ID is right. Cool fish, especially for 3 bucks!

I'm not sure what it is but it definitely is not Astatotilapia latifasciata (the red is in the wrong location) nor is it Hap sp. #44.

Give it some time to grow out a but more and check back here. My best guess at the moment might be Haplochromis (Xystichromis) sp. "Kyoga flameback" but that's far from certain.

I'd suggest you look through the profiles. The Hap #44 is the fish called Haplochromis obliquidens in the hobby.

I had misspoken sorry I intended to write haplochromis sp 35. Must have been too bust not paying attention sorry
