Cryptoheros sp?

[duanestuermer]

I received this pair as Cryptoheros septemfasciata
Just wondered what opinions others might think they are ?

[Philippe Burnel]

Strange head shape

[coelacanth]

Almost like a "nic" or a nematopus around the head.

[Bas Pels]

I wonder whether the pictures are taken from above - that would make a normal looking fish look like these. From this angle the fishes look rather thin, but good chances they are not

[duanestuermer]

They are a mated pair, and I believe the male is showing, pre-spawn dominance.
It has been suggested they are really C myrnae.

[Piotr Koba]

I would say C. myrnae, too. Nice, but not the youngest fishes.
