ID this fish plz

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Con. To those saying butti., notice the caudal fin shape and the lack of a white stripe on the fin itself, then compare to a butti....
 
Def. not a butti, it is a nice beefy Black Convict.
 
definately not a tilapua buttikoferi that looks nothing like the fish in my avatar
 
Definitely not a butti. The body and head shape is completely wrong. Convicts can get 6 inches and possibly more in home aquaria. I've had a male that large before.

its not $1500 but r u sure its a male convict cuz i did not know convicts get that big and how big do convicts get by the way also what do u think is a good offer i should make on it


As has already been said, cons on average can get 5-6" but kept long enough and in the right circumstances they could grow slightly larger than that but not much.

Also, I think these guys can be your friend ---> . , ? ! : ;

It is a good sized Convict, but because it is just a Convict, I wouldn't offer too much... $15 would be a max IMO, but others may think differently.

+1 I'd shoot for $10, but $15 is reasonable.
 
Thank god we buried the butti. theory. It is a convict, 15 bucks max if it's huge.
