[suPaduPA]

I got these two guys from Rapps since September..a Red Isletas and Barred midas..i was at work when my the shipment came in and my wife was the one who put them in the tanks..she didnt check the labels when she threw em in..not sure which one is which but here are the pictures of them..do you guys think I'm right?

Barred Midas: When I got him he was just barred but since January his face color morphed to pinkish red..

Red Isletas:

Barred some time change. Looks like it is going to be a good looking fish

Agreed, looks like your Barred Midas won't be barred for long. Its begun a colormorph. Maybe you will get a Piebald. The other is definently a Red Isletas. Just not showing the red belly/face currently.

Amphilophus sp Red Isletas, is essentally a barred midas from Lago Nicaragua that has a red hue around the head face and stomach. A localized variant.
