So i went a little crazy in the LFS yesterday.. But that's another story..

Here's a couple of the fish i picked up, without a label on them. Got them for ~5$

What kind are they? The female? is in the back somewhere, and doesn't have the bars on the body, except one bar at the tail.
I'm thinking Heros something..

Since my cellphone camera isn't the greatest, i decided to shoot a video instead, after 30mins of taking worthless photos.:irked:

Yes def some kind of severum...
 
Are you just talking about the 2 severums? Looks like efasciatus to me. Hard to say for sure at that age and just from the video. Saw lots of others in there to. JD, salvini, convict, sajica, blue acara, etc
 
Yeah, the severums. I'd like to know what species they are :)

God i wish i had the cash for a nice camera sometimes!!

Going to be be hard to say at that size. More then likely efasciatus or some aquarium mix. Grow them up and post some pictures and it will be easier to say.

Alright man, thanks :)

Looking through pictures of Heros, i could only find adult photos, which looked nothing like these :/ So that's why i was kinda clueless as to what they are.
I'm hoping they can tolerate 80-82fahrenheit then, and won't mind my setup.

Awesome.
Normally i don't buy fish i don't have the basic background about, since my mix is an oddball mix, where they all have to be able to thrive in the same waters, but these guys just appealed to me in the tank they were in :)

Thanks for trying to help
