ID help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
This is what i think:

Pic 1 or pic 2 - one should be o. lithobates but not both sine they were all "supposed" to be different
Pic 3 - I honestly have no idea
Pic 4 - I believe is A. stuartgranti and i believe ngara for the collection point

any thoughts?

Still looks like a mloto type Copadichromis.

These are some shots of my juvies. You can see the spot and barring pattern is similar.

It can be hard to get a 100% positive ID without full male coloration and even then it can be hard to pin the species but males don't usually color up till they start hitting 3.5". Mine didn't color till 4" and never wore his full colors unless he was spawning only because he wasn't the dominant fish in the tank. I never got the chance to get a decent pic of him in full dress but he looked like this. (googled photo)

Otherwise he was just had a dark-barred body with a pale dorsal edged with a white line.
 
1. copadichromis (probably trewavasae mloto likomo)
2. protomelas spilonotus tanzania
3. aulonocara stuartgranti ngara or chilumba
 
some sad news to report, due to the current weather situation(1-1/2" of ice and 8" of snow) and lack of power I lost fish 1,2, and 4 along with and electric blue ahali and a red fin borylei. Right not i have saved the other fish, 9 others from this tank, 14 from a grow out tank, a breeding group of red empress (2m 6f w/ 1 holding), and many other cory, plecos, and loaches. i have them set up in a 20 gal rubbermaid tote and some of the samll ones in a 5 gal but it could be as long as next weekend (2/7-8) till I get power back. wish me luck because I could use some right about now. I know I am not the only one in the area to lose fish
