Albertan;1469286; said:I'm still not convinced its a freddy after reading through that thread. Most people don't even attempt to justify why they think its a freddy. The body is more elongated than is typical for sure for a loiselli, but the other traits of the fish suggest (or scream) loiselli IMO. Personally, I think you are fortunate either way. If loiselli weren't short stubby little things that fail miserably to resemble the rest of the genus in outline I would have a few myself. Yours to me looks like a loiselli without the undesirable (to me) shape.
Body shape is what makes believe it is a friedrichsthalii. I've seen lots of color variations with the friedrichsthaliis and loisellis. It's hard to tell them apart some times from just coloration. Either way, loiselli or freddy, he is an awesome fish.
