Ex-Cichlasoma ornatum?

Postby dogofwar » Thu Apr 22, 2010 3:16 pm

Is this fish Ex-Cichlasoma ornatum? If not, what is it?

A Don Conkel re-seller has them for sale...

Thanks,

It's very hard to tell from that photo. The fish appears to be displaying stress colors. What I do see is a close resemblance in body shape to festae. Possible new species?

Could be anything

including Herichthys labridens - i'm just saying the picture is as uncummunicative as any picture I've seen

And believe me, uncommunicative pictures are the ones I make the best :lol:

I think it is the fish Oliver Lucanus have listed as Cichlasoma cf. ornatum
