Crenicichla menezesi

[Benn]

Hi guys picked these up from lfs today .I ordered 2f1m I realise they may still be stressed from their journey from Czech Republic to the uk but to my eyes they all seem to be male.They are 7cmtl so just thought I would ask the experts.
cheers

NICE!! Be sure to talk with Fish Speaker! He has a couple pairs that are breeding for him right now!! GORGEOUS Saxatilis group pikes!

Nice pikes, but I don't think they're menezesi. I don't think menezesi have the ocellated caudal peduncle that yours clearly have. I'm having a hard time narrowing down the exact species, but they're definitely a saxtilis group pike.

Hmmmmm ... I think Hawkfish3.0 is right ... at least fish speaker's ones don't have a caudal spot at all, let alone an ocellated one (had to go back and find the thread).

Yeah, fish speaker's look more like mine:
