Hi guys,

I am not sure if these are Datnoids

Saw these fish (about 1.5 to 2 inches) in a Cichlid tank at a LFS.

I apologize for the terrible quality of the pictures (taken from my cellphone).(I plan to go to that store again tomorrow with a proper camera for better pics)

While an exact ID would be fantastic, I was hoping some of you guys give some educated guesses.


The first pic shows the black stripes of the fish. It was dark grayish in color, but this might be due to stress. The other pic shows the shape of the fish. For size comparison, the picture has a 1 inch albino cichlid.

Thank you,
Sid

I guess you're right Logan. It does look like a Green Severum.

Datnoids are really really rare (in Bombay), so I had my hopes up for a few..hours. :)

I will try to post a "hi-res" picture tomorrow to confirm this ID.

Thank you,
Sid
 
Looks more like a Convict than a Severum.
 
I'm going to move this over for the Cichlid guys.
