ID these fish

[Decoder]

I came by these juvenile CA. LFS owner said there were midas, FH and texas juveniles there. Which of these can you see in photos? And which are which?

 

[HerCrenVie]

There are perhaps a couple of Midas/RD juveniles, but there are definitely no Texas cichlids. The vast majority of them are flowerhorns - low grade ones at that.

what he said

Yeah I agree there are midas, that will be the ones either with the black on their face or the rather faint vertical barring, while the flowerhorns look to be on average larger and will have the more defined caudal spot more iridescent fins and a greener upper body and face area. I alos do not see anything that looks like a juvie texas cichlid either

Really no texas? What about the two guys in vertical black bars in 3th and 4th photos? Normally we see some very black ones but when trying to catch them they suddenly fade and become inseperable from others. I dont know what to do.

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

To be honest i don't see any Texas or many Midas.

Hard to tell exactly which ones you are talking about but the one up close with the barring in the third pic is a midas and not a texas.

 

[reptech]

[croc 2-3]

Yeah I only FH & some red devils/midas I don't see any texas.
