Can someone pls ID

[Reevesy]

I rescued these two guys yesterday from a filthy 2ft tank

I am under the impression that one is a red devil and the second is a red terror, can someone pls confirm or deny this



The photos a bit S*** I know
But the first one has a red tinge to the whole body
and the second one has a green pearl over most of the body with a really red fins
Also does the second one look deforemed around the stomach or does it just look like he has been under feed

The first is something in the midas complex, but couldn't tell you which on.

The second is indeed a very sad looking male festae.

 

[Reevesy]

Thanks for that, the festae is starting to colour up now being in a clean tank with a couple off convicts to boss around
I am abit concered about the stomach region if he is deformed or just underfed. I am hoping he is just underfed

 

[p_dizzle24]

looks to be quite underfed to me.

The fish on the left is definitely Amphilophus, maybe a red istletas, and yes, underfed male festae on the right.

I'd say to get the festae well fed and then deworm him once he's stronger/healthier. I've seen fish bounce back from that and others who retain the deformed shape, so I guess it could go either way.

 

[Reevesy]

What do you recommend i feed him, i feed my others pellets and the occasional earth worm or two

 

[cacichlids]

amphilophus sp. red isletas and festae

Is it possible that the one on the left is a barred midas. I would put the question to Mo and get his opinion.
