geez right when i thought i new exactly what a lenticulata was. i see this post and everything gets trickier. i did see some that were labeled lenticulatas the other day but they look exactly like the ones that said they turned into the red back strigata.

we need a loaded crenicichla lover to throw down $$$ to do more research on them. lol

I'm with you, I wish that I could confirm what my "pair" are, you know, when I spawn them so I know what to call the fry

Seriously, does anyone have a link/copy of the original description for Lenticulata? Maybe a good read will help get it straight in my mind. . .
