V. fenestrata/ P. fenestratus - id please

[axelfloyd]

I've bought these fish as V.fenestrata. What do you think about them? The male is above and the female is below.

[Kevin Cumberton]

definitely Paratheraps fenestratus. Nice ones too! What info did you get about them?

[axelfloyd]

Thank's for a quick reply.
Sorry, I've forgotten that some of the past Viejas should be named Paratheraps now. Maybe that's because the rest fish in my tank are Viejas - I mean V. argentea and V. regani.
To be honest I know nothing about them excluding the place of their birth - somewhere in Poland so they are not wild caught

Very nice definitely pure bred fenestratus as to their genus name people are using paratheraps, vieja and now paraneetroplus depending wich scientific reports are being followed

Those are some lovely looking fenestratus. The flash on the camera has caught the incadesence on the fins and flanks beautifully.

Thank's for your answers and opinions. I'm glad to read that they're pure.

Their tank mates:
V. argentea - I think this one year old fish is a male. Am i right?


a pair?


V. regani - I have no idea how to find the differences between males and females. They are about 14 cm

[Piotr Koba]

Pretty P. fenestratus you got, Bernard! You haven't shown them to me And that about argenteas, that's still actual

BTW, I believe its way too early to say about pair bond of your V. argentea. However, I'm no specialist.

I wasn't able to show them because they weren't mine that time. I bought them a few weeks ago.

[Bas Pels]

@ regani - just wait and see. They are beautifull and in due time you will know more

How do you have?

[axelfloyd]

You mean - how many? I have a group of 6 fish.

[Bas Pels]

sorry, typo

I did mean to write how many
