Wow its a Beautiful Paratheraps Fenestratus

I'm not fully convince that's a fenestratus, but I am far from being any sort of expert. I have 2, that came from a reputable source, and it just a lot different from yours. Here are my 2 (from April 2014 at around 4"+) at the 22-23sec mark on the video

xraycer... yours are either younger with not as well-developed markings as lyc's or a different species... lyc's fish is 100% fenetratis

Like I've already stated, I'm "far from being and expert", so it was just a comparison to mine. I've got these a year ago at 2.5" and they are now over 7". At 22, 41 and 102second mark on video....btw, crappy video does not do them justice....their electric blue and bright-red edging colorations are awesome.

xraycer... Sorry but I don't think yours are Fenestratis more like the equally attractive Hartwegi

Here's a pic of an adult Hartwegi

Fenestratus has the vertical bars and the redder head.. Also check the positioning of their mouths which are quite different.

lol there are 2 Hartwegis (7"+) in that videos at 14-15 sec and 45 sec its looking right into the camera, up close and personal.

....and up close and personal at 55sec is a regani

Not sure if you can see from this picture, but notice the pronounce horizontal bar from this pic. These were sold as blue fenestratus, so I suppose that's why the lack red head.
