here is a shot of what I believe to be Crenicichla Gaucho, we collected them in March with Felipe. We thought that we were collecting Creni Scotti, but some of them looked different. Please tell me what you think.

very cool pikes. ive seen a few listed as gaucho in the lfs by me but i definitely think they are mislabeled. they have 3 labeled as gauchos and all look different. so im clueless on what the gauchos look like.
 
Thanks for the comment, I would love to know for sure if there is a way to know what they are.
 
any ocelli on the dorsal fins. almost look like they could be dorsocellata.

how big are they?
 
No dorsal spots yet, they are all between 3" and 4" they still have a long way to go before I can tell the boys from girls :)

Thanks, don't look anything like mine, but, mine appear to be quite a bit larger, Maddog10 knows what he is doing, I assume that he got them from someone that went to Uruguay or Argentina, I don't think that he has been himself.
