paratilapia bleekeri...........Iam new to these beauty's but from pictures ive seen thats what it looks like,,,maybe male
 
Thanks so much! I knew there was more to him. I looked it up, he is the small spot variety. I appreciate your time.
 
hehe dont take my word for gospel,,,if you can find cichoholic or angelmouse they should help much better
 
I,d say thats a male paratilapia polleni small spot, my bleekeri has much larger spots. Beautiful looking fish you have there.
regards Angel
 
Polleni small spot.... just super head gene... you should selective breed your male and se if you can isolate that gene
 
S. Coast Nelly, Angelmouse, drb, lilfats2 and Camshaft: Thanks so much for your input. My guy is a wonderful fish. Found him in a pet store in an itty bitty tank. Made a deal brought him home. His very smart even if a little slow moving. So I do have a Paratilapia. Good to knoww. Now all I have to do is find hima girlfriend. Thanks again.
