hi all,

i recently ordered a bunch of africans from outside my city. i got a bunch of healthy juvi fish. But I' sure about this one. Whether this is what I had ordered...

so please ID this. I have deliberately not mentioned what I had ordered.

there about 8 of them . . . all between 2 and 3 inches.

is it suppose to be Protomelas taeniolatus because it look sort of like it, but the face is throwing me off

Its a hap...... i just don't remember the exact name.

 

[nishant_datta]

definitely a hap . .

guys actually I had ordered malawi eye biters. these have been shipped as malawi eye biters. what do u think ? are they eye biters ??

 

[Rare_Cichlids]

They are not " Malawi eye biters" if they were their face would be much more elongated.

i agree with above posters, definately not a pure eye biter.. there are some good pics on this forum of true eyebiters to compare them to. im guessing they may be eyebiter hybrids.. not sure though.

 

[nishant_datta]

has anyone seen or heard of eye biter hybrids ???

Hmm... no, but I wonder if the specie in the family could breed...
