LFS has them listed as "Misc. geo's" but I'm fairly certain they're all CA - I only deal in SA and don't ever recall seeing these guys, so would appreciate opinions from those of you with experience in CA.

I see FM's and the second fish looks like a hybrid....

Not a hybrid. Looks like Cryptoheros nanoluteus the "Yellow" convict or a similar species.


Sorry looks like Cutteri to me. So I would say similar spesies.. Cutteri

Hey man Get some better pics of the smaller ones. I am going with Cutteri ;) I have had both nan and Cut looking at a cut next to my cpu...

100% not nanoluteus...bad pics or not...

I will also say the spotted cheek ones look to be Thorichthys.. Beings how you mainly see Meeki.. I would from the extremely distorted pics go with that as an estimation.

Get some clear pics.
 
In the last part of the vid... There did look to be a Geo... Looked similar to a few.. ONe being Brasiliensis juv. But without cear footage of all it is going to be hard to id the rest.. Could possibly have some Longimanus....

Only one of those fihs looked Geo though ;) The last one in the geos vid no geos2
