Cichlid Identification

[kribensis12]

There is a fish that needs idetifiying that i dont have a pic of. It is around 2 inches long. It has almost a torpedo shape to it. I almost has blue-ish finns, stomach is a off white. It also has thick black bars across it, and the bars go through the fins. Please help me.

African?If so it could be Pseudotropheus demasoni, Cobalt Blue Pseudotropheus zebra (or whatever they are called now) or a blue Aulonocara nyassae peacock...?

Nope but i think it is south american. Here is a link to the pic: http/www.repticzone.com/forums/Fish/messages/1396364.html

Everyone is saying that it is a Convict, but I disagree. What do you think?

Convict X HRP.

I disagree. Looks too tall to be pseudotropheus lombardoi. Is there any better pics?

 

[kribensis12]

I think it might be a honduran red point.

er...that's what I too said. Did you check out the link?

Scientific Name(s): Pseudotropheus lombardoi, Pseudotropheus liliancinius, P. kennyi

I think it might be a honduran red point.

hm...could be. May be the you'll have better luck posting this in the New World Cichlids section.

its a convict, no if's no but's 110% positive

this really has to be the best know cichlid on the planet(it could be crossed with something dow the line, but its still a convict)NeilCompare them

It may look like one, but do you notice how the fish in question has upward curve and the one from google dosent? Also, this cichlid is a blue color.

Is that not down to the picture quality?

I'm still going with HRP X convict, they are common and can vary a little, to looking like a blue convict.

Maybe a Frontosa
