Hello
I need help identifying these Parachromis, were purchased as loiselli, but I'm not sure.....

Look like Bocourti to me. But I could be wrong.
 
No way is that a bocourti...

Are those spangles on the opercle? Looks like a Parachromis hybrid type. The mouth is definitely off for a Parachromis.
 
Bocourti came to mind for me too. Face doesn't look parachromis; plus it has green eyes and a caudal spot. Bocourti hybrid?
 
Here's my bocourti for comparison- not even close. Look at the caudal spot, body shape, and barring.

Thanks for your answers,
I'm sure that is not a bocourti, becoase it´s a species that i have and is very different in body shape.
some of them have spangles on the area of opercle in bluish tones
What i find strange is the shape of the head, are they a hybrid of Parachromis with something else???
Does anyone have pictures of loiselli juveniles, or some link where you can see some photos
 
I see kraussii
