New pick up/id please and opinion

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Judging from the new pics, they might just be ruby greens. He is very beautiful and you are very lucky to own such a beaut. I believe they are ruby greens, but I'm just not so sure though. The female is all that's bothering me. The female doesn't look right. Any more pics of the female?
 
Ill get some of her.She looked alot more yellow yesterday but is starting to fade and whiten up.Maybe she was just stressed.Give me a few minutes.
 
Here some more but they didnt turn out to well.

She still has eggs in her mouth.
 
The shape of the female just throws me off a bit. I've never kept a female ruby green with that kind of body shape. She looks nice though. Best way for an exact ID is to trace the source and where they came from, like what I said earlier. Good luck. ;)
 
Ill see if he'll tell me where he got them after this little ice storm and they reopen.He may think im trying to bypass him to buy right from his people well see.I might send some pics to Eddie Martin to see what he thinks.Im going there this weekend to pickup something nice hopefully anyway.

Eddie Martin, owner of bluegrassaquatics.com right? I believe he is the owner of the albino ruby green I posted. He should have experience with the species and he should be a big help. ;) What are you planning to get from him?

No problem. I like your fish and good luck with everything. I hope that you will finally be able to ID your fish, as they are amazing. And if you do get the Phytophagus, get some pics up. :D
