LFS pick up. Female Hoga?

[CrimsonFog]

Been looking for a nice hoga and I think I found one. Labeled at the LFS as a red terror.

$10. Couldn't passed it up. (as cliche' as that sounds)

If I am wrong, ill take it back.

Are you guys with me?


Oh and that's not ich, just tiny bubbles.

like most amphilophus you really won't be able to tell untill it settles down or bought from a reputable source. Even then It will be difficult. Best bet would be to consider it a hybrid. to me it looks like a normal barred midas/red devil

Looks like a fathead looking hoga in a bag to me. The dot and faded vertical lines look exactly like mine. I believe ours are siblings from Seattle. MADNESS _ where are you in this? LOL! But let it settle in your tank a bit and see the pinkish highlights coming out. IT"S PURDY when that happens.

FYI- That LFS was told that it was a Hogaboomorum. My guess is due to the long name. They forgot what it was and went with what they thought what it was when brought in, i.e. Red Terror... In short. Great pick up for a hard to find species here! To gather a consensus here. Guys, what do you think it is?
