I need vieja synspila identification HELP !!

I'd let it grow some and see for sure.

here is my juvi just alittle over 3 inches(got it from jeff rapps so it is what it should be)i agree let i grow some more and see how the color changes.

Aa with most of the vieja, to small to tell. Repost pics in a couple months.

here is the one i bought roughly two weeks ago from same place and probally same tank dale76 got his from. first pic is 2 weeks ago and second pic is same fish today.the fish is around 3 1/2 ".

what ever it is steve 58 that looks like it will turn out to be a nice fish,(not to sure with the color or pattern maybe so one who breeds them will know better)

Im sorry but I think that you are right and wrong, looks like mine even though mine is a juvie hard to tell, But It still does not look like a true synspila, for starters look at my juvie and your photo (thor) see the dots on the dorsal and anal fins? And from your photo the body seems to take on more of an pink/red overtone, maybe a new hybrid????

I think not. Bluegrass is just as reputable as rapps.
Guarantee you mine is not a hybrid.
Eddie Martin has very good reputation for supplying quality fish especially cichlids.

the only thing got me confused is the pattern(looks like a salvini pattern,just my opinion)and color,i still say wait and let it grow some,might end up with a nice fish anyway

 

[buddha1200]

here is a better picture of mine(pattern a little more broken up)it is now 3 maybe 4 inches got it in may at 1 inche from rapps,colors have improved month by month,hope this helps.

i've had and bred salvini's and i'm pretty positive theres no salvini in it.i'll try posting pics as it grows and colors change . i do agree that i think what ever they are they will turn out to be great looking fish.

 

[buddha1200]
