Need help with ID

[flamenco-t]

I just got him in today. He's about 7-8" long and I paid $ 40 for him at the local LFS. I was told he's somekind of Frederick $%^*#^&($, they called him Fred for short.

Anyone have any idea what he is ? I thought he's very close to manguanese..

Thanks

Stan

I know his species are aggresive just like any guapotes...

But can he live peacfully with the following :

7" Arowana (Silver)
6" Severum (green)
11" TSN
12" Tigrinus
10" Delhezi Bichir
3 Blood Parrot Cichilds (fat, about 3.4" in length)
2 Clown Knife 8" long each

I have seen him pick on the severum a few times already, but I saw the severum picked on the blood parrot when I first got him and it went away...

What do you guys think ?

Good price, and great fish.

I could be wrong but this fish to me looks more like a Parachromis motaguense. the lfs supplier probably told them it was a friedrichsthalli (freddy for short) but freddys, loisellei and motaguense get mixed up all the time by suppliers and lfs.

Thats my old fred. Did you get it at Keller Farms? Its a true fred-from Jeff originally.

 

[flamenco-t]

yes, I got it at keller farms...

He's been picking the living hell out of my severum....How was he in your tank fishtank76092 ?

Any chance it's a mix? It's got a bit of a lloisellei look to me, but hey, it's parachromis, of course it looks a bit like one I guess.
