Parachromis ID's Please

Ok, here are some more pics. Hopefully they are sufficient for an ID. He's very difficult to photograph, as I have to lure him out with food. Also, can someone confirm that the other fish in question is a female loisellei?

It's Usually Lois being sold as Freddies, but this is the first time Freddy beng sold as Lois ime..

Just by looking at the yellow and the blak spottings, I can tell that's a Freddy..

And the easiet give away is the top area of the fish. Lois silver on top, and Freddy don't have that.

And it's a Yellow Jacket Monarch Freddy

Not La Ceiba Freddy.

Big difference to me.

I like and want Monarchs and opposite for La ceibas.

I believe you guys are onto something. I walked in on the tank yesterday, and he was all fired up, showing the vertical barring common with freds.

Top pic is awesome
