My regani

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't think this is C. regani. Female regani have a white-rimmed dorsal spot. Usually a red-rimmed spot belongs to a female C. notophthalmus, so I'd guess that's what you have. She's gorgeous, though!
 
Jeff was selling a similiar species to Orinico Dwarf and Noto's under .cf regani a while ago, but Ryan is correct. Regani have a white surrounded ocelli or blotches ....
 
nice little fish. I want :-)

Ding ding ding we have a winner!!! ;) Regani it is not, 100% sure of that. That be looking like a spicy noto female that it does! :)

Jeff has an enormous amount of fish come through his facility, and he does his best to accurately ID fish to the best of his abilities. Crenicichla can be a little tricky though, especially with differences among species depending on locality, so its not uncommon for some to slip by from time to time. ;)
 
Let's see some pictures of the males. Male notos are easy to ID, but it could be one of the unrecognized dwarf pikes that darth pike mentioned.

Either way, she is a gorgeous fish and now I'm kicking myself for not jumping on these when Jeff listed them.
