Odd pick up/ID fish

[tapeworm]

My brother decided to start a 60g, and let me know today, that he came home with what he thought was a pair of festae. I'm not to experienced with festae, as some of you may have recalled i posted before to ID some and never ended up buying them. But he decided to try and bought two of them. Anyone let me know if they are festae, or if they are something else, keep in mind they are not the best of pictures, as these littles guys never sit still, they are only about 2 inches.

Even at 2" they should show the tail spot, look more like a Amphilophus fry to me. Ken

They do have a tail spot outlined in a somewhat greenish hue. Its located a little off the center of their tail, when i snapped the picks they happen to turn really dark as you can see, but when they swim around without having a flash to their face, they appear very light in complexion with the tail spot. Not sure though, I thought they were RD's.

Maybe uros...

wow very strange indeed... to me it don't appear to be a festae. i also think it's a Amphilophus fry, or maybe even a FH. who knows, let it grow and color up a bit more then try to re-post for ID.

Definetly not a festae i got one at like an inch and it looked like a festae . I agree that it looks kidoff like a flower horn.

The color is so far off, no way they are festae or even uros. Ken

I could be way off, but my first thought was Aulonocara, not a CA it is a African...but that was what I though of when I seen your pic????

looks like a young FH or another amphilophus (possible another hybrid) to me... no way its an aulunocara...
