Margaritifer

[HrHagel]

I have a couple to, and they was sold me as Astatheros Margaritifer, but in fact they are Astatheros Robertsoni Red Cheel.

Can you post a few pics of yours?
I would really like to see yours and compare

The Robertsoni 'Lancetilla' are also known as 'Red Cheek' or 'orange cheek'. I think Mo has these too, cracking fish, but i have been told they are extremely aggressive.

Well that explains it

The sellers says his are extremely passive. They spawned in a community tank of his, and the other fish can swim within 10cm of the eggs without the pair taking notice.
If they get within the 10cm range, they get slaughtered though

They are Robertsoni, I have collected that area of Honduras 5 times If it existed we would have found it. There are lots of different robertsoni types all along the north coast of Honduras and east coast of Guatamala that resemble that fish. Here's a thread on the same subject http://www.cichlidae.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4303&hilit=hONDURas Ken

I agree looks like Robertsoni to me. Ken, you still have those Rio Tabasco Robertsoni? Thats what this fish reminds me of.....
