Who here has owned a Ven that is saying stoni :) Stoni's are White and brown in my experience of owning the Venustus and seeing the stoni in the next tank.. Also the Pattern on a ven is seperated like the pic where as most stoni is a more connected pattern..

Venustus is Yellow where the stoni would be white. Though they tend to resemble once in a while similar yellow.. but the markings are very different hence the Ven is the Giraffe cichlid commonly..

markings are very CLEARLY N. Venustus :D have a nice day :)
