New species of parachromis

[gman]

One of my coworkers at the fish store recently went on a fish collection trip to honduras and discovered a new species of parachromis. This is no B.S. he went with Rusty Wessel and he confirmed they are an undiscribed species. My buddy brought back a bunch of small ones like 3/4" and Rusty has the adults that were caught. Best past is that I am getting 3 of the little guys

Here is a pic of the male


and the female

If Rusty Wessel was with him I am pretty sure it is a new sp. that guy knows his stuff. I have met him a couple times and he has been all around the world collecting fish. He came to one of my fish club meetings before, he just got back that day, South America somewhere and brought in a bunch of freshly cought fish to sell in our mini auction, never been in a tank.

Those are some cool looking fish.
