Bought these from an LFS that I work at while I'm laid off....I'm even the one that ordered these for the store and I can't figure out what they are.
Sorry for the crappy pics.

Rotratus Cichlid, the males look amazing when they get to be an adult

Cool. Thank you.

These arrived in a batch of "mixed peacocks" by the way.

lol thats pretty odd, but you got some cool fish, hopefully you will get a nice male out of one of them

Yeah. Even in this drab juvi coloration I think they are very cool. Nice flashy silver with light blue and yellow sheens to the fins and tail. Kinda wish I had a sand substrate for them though.

Thanks for the link. Reading up on these guys I'm glad I've got something bigger than the 340 in the works.

Ordered a few more rostratus for the store today. I guess if no one wants them I'll "rescue" them. lol
