Jose's Stunners

[darboy]

hey guys just want to post some of my friends amazing fishes and would like to ask some questions as well. hope ya'll can help jose and i out finding out some stuff.. first off,
this is a wc cichla kelberi about 8 inches with a piquiti of the same size. we noticed the tail design is different from the normal bahias found here in manila, question 1 is can anyone id this kelberi because all that we know is that it is wild caught. next, these are 4 inch cichla piquiti sp brejinho de nazare and a couple of normal wc piquitis. we noticed the brejinhos are different from normal piquitis because of the spots/speckles all around the body.. so question 2 is Will these guys have their speckles until they reach mature size or will they lose them and just be normal azuls? additional pics of adult brejinhos will be helpful. ok that's it for now would appreciate the help guys.

The kelberi looks bahia to me. Beautiful.

It might be hard to tell where the wild caught kel is from if the supplier did not provide any info on it's collection point.Seems that there are quite a few different kelberi coming into the hobby from different locales and as Ken said,it might even be a bahia...Good looking bunch of fish though.
