that is not a black belt. It looks to be a Hartwegi.

Thats what I thought it was and they are really nice fish too. I'm almost 100% sure its a Hartwegi.

Beautiful Hartwegi Congrats on a great find. I want one so bad, but I am out of room, lol.

Hatwegi, Guttulatum or Zonatum. Could be any one of these. Watch this fish carefully. If he eats all your food, swims around aimlessly taking cheap shots at your other fish and has no personality then he is a hybrid. Hybrid Central Americans are retard aggressive. Make sure he doesnt pop the eyes out of your other fish. Im hoping hes a Hartwegi. Good luck.

What is this based off of?

How can a seller pay a premium for a "wild" fish and not even know what he bought?

That smells of a larger problem in the industry.




Regardless, it's a beautiful fish. IMO it's a hart or gutt.
