finally. anyone else want to contribute?

 

[Jason_S]

my contribution is to say that the first pic is most certainly a Tilapia buttikoferi. oh and I definitely agree that the third pic is a Victorian but I couldn't say which one.

 

[Honda12]

The last one is a Hap sp. thick skin (hap sp. 44) like stated above and the top is a tilapia buttikoferi like stated above as well. Not sure of the middle. Kind of looks like a P. socolofi mix.

Just so you know the tilapia buttikoferi get about 12in to 14in and they grow fast. Also in my experience all of the one that I have had killed smaller tankmates. So keep an eye on it as it grows.

i say last pic is a thick skin as stated above male not in breeding colors

wow thanks for all the replies ....... i hope he doesn't kill my fish i don't really have to many hiding spots for the smaller guys hmmm...i'll keep an eye on him ..his size should be fine in my 125 though

If your concerned about hiding spots, you can create more cover structure with rocks. I get mine from my local rockery/landscaping supply place. The rocks there are only 20cents a lb. but they just give me the rocks I want because it's such a small amount to them. Just make sure you boil them first.

danepatrick is correct. without a doubt. hap-obl... doesent look like a red tail veriety though but it make not be in full color yet. i have a red tail and it is an awesome fish when it is bieng agressive the color really stands out
