Please IDENTIFY this Fry

[Cyberman]

Hi guys,

I accidentally received one of these fry in with a bunch of ExCichlasom istlanum last week... Its obviously not an istlanum but can any of you guys tell me what it is?

 

[fwprawn]

Some kind of Haplochromis

 

[Cyberman]

like a Haplochromis nyererei?

 

[fwprawn]

Along those lines, but only time (and mature coloration, IF male) will tell.

 

[Cyberman]

I hope its a male... they're quite nice

 

[C L O W N K N I F E]

I'd say maybe young copadichromis borleyi...its hard to tell though...perhaps grow it out a bit ...does it show any bars through the eyes? Is there yellow on the dorsal, anal, and tail fin?

 

[Cyberman]

There's a suggestion of yellow in the finnage and there's quite a few vertical bars along the body at certain times.

 

[Cyberman]

This'll be my first African cichlid
