A. Compressiceps, or A. Calvus?

[M|L]

22 and 23? any ideas?

I don't get it.

First of all, they're both the same fish.

Second, you've already stated that they're compressiceps, so why are you asking me?

Because I like to test the intelligence of teenagers who think they know it all.

I'll appologise for that last comment as it was a juvenile thing to say, But you cant just say:

It's a Calvus

Even though I'm not interested in cichlids, I'm still the cichlid master here.

Without providing any explaination whatsoever, and still expect to be taken seriously.

ummm, I was joking.

you shouldn't have taken it seriously.

but, even though I'm still a 17 year old, I've probably kept more fish than most of the people here.

And I appreciate your experience. As do I appreciate your jest. And Ive been keeping fish now for 20+ years, and i can still be wrong. But I've really got my heart set on putting this question to rest. Ive recieved conflicting statements from around the different forums, and its really getting a bit tiring.

even those cichlid geeks at cichlid-forum can't give you a straight answer??

I will say though, it has made for an interesting thread

A few folks have reversed their opinions based on the second set of photos. A fellow Tang keeper at TFC states it's Definatly a comp.

Definitely a Comp, the upturned mouth is enough to conclude. Time for you to look smug

Great pictures by the way.

But there are still the ones that come in and say "It's this!" or It's that" then leave without explaination.

Are the fishes in post 20 and 21 your fish or you took from the web??
