Another "Red" Stingray

[N-E Cichlids]

Can anyone tell me what sp. these are coming in as. This is the third one that came in like this. Labeled as Shroderi "Red".

Yeah, I see those on my lists as Caqueta Red or Schroderi Red, I never had the balls to order them. Take some more pics when it is comfortable and its color comes in.

Nice large retic. Ive seen them at some LFS labeled as such. Well hung too.

Last one was a 10" female and pregnant. This is a 7" male. He is very thin though. After hearing they are hard to get to eat we'll see how he does.

That tail looks pretty thick and I can't see the pelvic bones in those pictures. They look like little tents on each side of the tail if he's really malnourished. He can go a few days before he's in a real dire state....

Hello,

here we call these "Red Reticulatus" or "Red Caqueta Reticulatus" or so.
But mostly known as Red Reticulatus
