Notorious Bastards

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i still say to small to say. pictures make them look the same size, if not smalller than the reganis, which are dwarfs. my guess is only 3 inches where as the pikes in peanuts pctures look more like 5-6".

just my guess tho. time will tell.

Thanks Jer!

I'm still uncertain. I think my best bet is just to grow them out a little and try IDing them later. I will post a few vids later that I took with my P&S camera. There are vertical red bars/stripes on the tail and the top of the dorsal is also red. Really only visible to the naked eye, not sure if it will show up in the video.

Red in the dorsal is normally a lucius trait. :ROFL:Sorry Jamie. We are battling over your fish, I hope we don't make you go crazy. Its been a fun debate though! I'll definitely get a look at them this weekend. ;)

Ok, lets make this a little more interesting then!!! Hahaha Would you like to make a bet? You get ALL my Crenicichla notophthalmus if they turn out to be Crenicichla cincta. . . I get one of your notos, doesn't matter which, if they turn out to be lucius.
 
can i make the bet and if i lose claim that i dont have any noto's. seems like my males don't have the extended rays on the dorsal fin, so not real notos. speaking of which, i need to get some pics up of the males.

I believe that counts as dirty dealing! :ROFL:

Go ahead and start another thread and post them up. My males dorsals don't extend horribly far, but they are seperated, and stand up about 1/4". Not sure how much longer they are supposed to be.

Perhaps we all have sp. 'orinoco'. Hahahaha
 
I was checking out the videos I took of them and to be honest they're crappy and not worth posting, too blurry.

I did spot a VERY faint iridescent spot near the end of the tail fin on one of them.

Jer, are you going to Scott's place this weekend? I talked to him and he was certain they were Cinctas, then he started to question himself. He said he had a couple left over and was thinking of growing them out a little to be make sure he was right.
 
He is supposed to be coming to the EXPO this weekend, and I was assuming he was gonna bring them along. Was hoping to get a hands on look at them then. ;)

I'll be there Saturday, Saturday night, and Sunday. So probably won't hear back from me till Monday.

I might just get some myself, hahaha, be fun to find out what they are that way as well. We could have a grow out competition! :ROFL:
 
Alright sweet, hopefully he will bring some with him so you can get a look at them.


Whatever they are, they are very active and were eating some veggie/spirulina flake I put in the tank for other fish.
 
Jer, did you get a chance to check out Scott's fish?

I'm getting my sister-in-laws camera this weekend so maybe I can snap some better photos with it and post em up here. I got an order coming in Friday with a few RARE fish so I plan on taking pics of them too. :D
