Hi, I bought a few fish at a fish shop that I happened to be passing and I am having issues identifying them correctly.

They look to be either Dovii or Jags and I know they can be difficult to I.D when they are young.

I have kept both and understand the requirements for both especially the wolfs!!!

Sorry the pics are rubbish as my camera in my phone is crappy.

They are not coloured up at all as have only been in the tank an hour, its cloudy as I just did a large water change and i kicked up alot of sand.

Thanks

Rich

Thats what I thought as well. The shop I got them from is meant to be a well respected cichlid shop....

Very nice shop, but had them labelled as Dovii and the managuense were above and looked totally different but they were probably Friedrichstalli (excuse my spelling please lol)
 
Yeah def. Jag, the Dovii's mouth don't point up. Both lips are about same length thus making it point forward. Jag's mouth are "betta" like.
 
The only issue I have is 2 of the 5 look different than the others. They have solid lines down there side rather than the mottled line jag's tend to get.

They have upturned mouths like Jags but the pattern and colour is more Dovii as there more yellow.
 
You can see 1 of them in the pictures above, it has the solid line down its side. Looking beside the others it is different.

I know Jags can come in many different colours etc
