male nicaraguensis cichlid

This.

 

[D. Hedington]

hard to say, I'd call it for a male Nic, but with your pic its a bit hard to identify without the colours, it could go either way, balzanii or Nicaraguensis.

 

[cchhcc]

100......no..... ONE MILLION PERCENT nicaraguensis.

(Completely bald and holding pinky to mouth): "I'll bet you ONE BILLION DOLLARS I'm right! Now SHHHH!"




By the way, I can see how you might think balzani. Both big heads!

 

[blackghostuk]

I kinda think nic on the colouring, but it's got a balzanii mouth tho, more forward-facing than a nic.

There's an easy way to find out - take a pic with its dorsal fin up and count the soft rays.
Nic has 9-11, balzanii has 12-15.

Then tell us and I'll send cchhcc a billion dollars.

 

[driftwood]
