Parachromis cf. loisellei "Panama"?

[HerCrenVie]

Does anyone know what these really are? I have two of these, 2 inches or so and they look markedly different from a juvenile P. loisellei that I have. Different body shape, different markings, different colour. They look more friedrichsthalli to me. The only locality information I have on them is that they're from Panama, but F1.

They look nothing like loisellei:

my young loisellei (2.5 inches, therefore very similar in size to the Panama fish):

Ideas?

They still look like p. loisellie to me. Its hard to tell if they are Panama now being that they are so small. Hopefully they will grow fast and you will know. Your 2.5'er looks great too.

Cheers. What does the Panama variant look like as adults?

They look like loiselli to me, too.

This guy dominates my dovii. I've found loisellei to be the most aggressive of all Parachromis I've kept.

Just give that dovii some time...things will change.
Nice loisellie!

My Loisellie is dominating my 30 cm Gold Morph Managuensis also... Loisellei is sure more aggrassive in all parachromis family excpet Dovii IMO

Most people who have owned other parachromis will dissagree especially with RTM or freddies. One of the reasons I bought loisellie is that everything I have read and people I have have experience say that they are the least aggressive parachromis.

I found my loisellie fairly placid compared to my dovii but still a mean fish.
