Anyone able to ID this bigbox mis-label?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm not sure they are Nics either, but I have a tank open so its worth a shot to see what they turn out to be. Unfortunately life got in the way and I wasn't able to get them today, hopefully tomorrow. I did snag a $5 off $30 coupon for the store so at least my purchase will be a little cheaper (and it will force me to buy a group :p )
 
I'm curious to see how they turn out under good care st your house. Wonder what they are Now lol
 
Stopped on the way home from work and got them for $3/eat after coupon so I got five. Still no clue what they are (not Nics I am fairly certain). Thinking maybe something SA, possibly hybrid because of the bright blue sides. Sorry for the terrible pics, they move constantly and my glass needs cleaned!20170511_165209.jpg 20170511_165229.jpg 20170511_165101.jpg

I edited your photo to get a closer look
compare yours with the Chuco micropthalamus below, not sure because at a young age many Central Americans look similar, and I do believe, they look Central American

I agree. The better pics really help.

Major score OP. COA has 1.5" ones for $19.
 
I wish my lfs sold such nice fish..and for $3! My lfs' idea of cichlids is a pair of convicts, hybrid mbuna, and maybe a bb ram. :(

Never heard of the Chuco micropthalamus before, but looking at those pictures I am almost certain thats what they are, mostly because of the mouth which is a pretty unique shape.

Score! How big do these guys get?
