Paratheraps fenestratus
Paratheraps sp. 'coatzacoalcos'

You can always call don conkel or gauge and ask. Maybe he really did name it. He's one of the most knowledgeable people about New World cichlids. Just don't come at him with an attitude, he doesn't respond well to it I hear.

They look like my piebald V. fenestratus in the transition of peeling off the dark pigments.

Fish labeled as "conkelli" are almost always fenestratus that lose pigment.

thanks for the reply's guys, if one were to piebald how soon would it do it size wise? these ones are a solid six inches and from what I could tell had not piebalded.

I am not into the pie bald look.

they are 18.99 is that a good price for ones this big?

$18.99 for a 5-6in vieja is fair IMO. I had about 5 unturned piebalds and I got rid of them. I found their colors really bland and washed out compared to other vieja - I kept hoping they would turn but they didn't. I rehomed them at around 5-6in.
