Good observation, the body shape is a little suspect....the mystery continues?
^^^^ Good looking fish, Pantera.
Thank you, all my fish are very special to me...even the ugly ones?
Here's a few more shots of my males, some of when I first got them:
and last but not least, probably the best shot I ever took, this guy is "speedy", he never slows down, he is the class clown of the tank:
Last one:
The burtoni's I have are probably my favorite fish, not the most colorful but so fun to watch, especially the guy I have in my 75g long! He's just a nut job, always has, always will be! He use to make a monkey out of the dom Vic I had in the "all Vic" 125g until one day, that sp.44 caught up with his little butt...tore him up pretty bad and spent a month in the QT tank licking his wounds. He now lives with the Tang tank, and he messes with everyone in there too!
went back to where i got it and they're labeled Astatotilapia calliptera....i guess hes too young to show color yet
I keep one calli, he's a young male too but he doesn't look anything like yours. I will take a picture of him and post it here so you can compare for yourself.
The mystery continues.....
This is just a guess because I'm very stumped also,
Haplochromis sp. "Blue Fire Fin".... (FEMALE)
Haplochromis sp. "Blue Fire Fin".... (FEMALE)
Ok, here's a couple of quick shots of my calli, like I said, he's no beauty and the absolute bottom of the pecking order in the tank. The fish is from excellent stock and I might transplant him into one of my 40's to see what he really looks like when he is not constantly chased and abused.
mine looks like this one on this link when hes protecting his rock, mine has the same stripe and color
