Fish IDs Please.

[SamUK]

any help with these is greatly appreciated! sorry about the quality, used my camera phone.


hardest one first cos you can only see his face.

think this are butterkoferi or something??

not a clue on this one.

is this a true STF?

and finally this one.

nearly forgot, are these senegals?



werent called senegals thats why im confused.

 

[jayjay]

the video i think is some kind of rope fish last pic is what looks like a urau (sp?) pic 2 looks like a jack dempsey

not sure on the others sorry

 

[OohFeeshy]

First one, impossible to tell, some sort of Vieja mebbe? Last pic, yeah, uaru, video, they look like senegals to me (or one of that sort of species, could be some sort of palmas).

 

[SamUK]

thanx guys.


fish in the vids are definately a bichir of some sorts.


have to go read up on uaru's i think cos he was a great looking fish.

 

[jayjay]

T1KARMANN would be the guy to talk to about the STF he has them.

just thought i'd say.

 

[Dany]

second is a jack dempsey
3rd on is are jewel cichlids
4th one looks like a texcas cichlid
5th - ???

ANY HELP?
dany

 

[SamUK]

yea thats great thanx.


the jewel cichlids pic, it wasnt actually the jewels i wanted ID'ing altho ive jus realised the pics really really crap for the other fish in the photo.

 

[vancouver]

there is a tilapia buttefoerki or however its spelled in the 3rd pic with the jewels...

are you going to keep all these fish? the tilapia alone will need an enormous tank

 

[SamUK]

no there all jus the ones i couldnt id at the lfs.


thinking of going back for the uaru and a senegal tho.

 

[OohFeeshy]

You say the bichirs 'werent called senegals '- what were they called?

 

[Nauplii]

the 3rd looks to me like Jewel cichlids,
and that is a STF

 

[SamUK]

You say the bichirs 'werent called senegals '- what were they called?

i cant remember


ive been looking for a website with all the bichir species listed but havent found one yet.


looking at pics they do look a but thinner than the senegals ive found pics of.

could be cos they were younger tho i guess.

and that is a STF

dont mean to be doubtful but are you sure?

i remember tikarman said there was a few different types and only some were true STF.

 

[Nauplii]

really? it just looks like the ones ive seen really.. its hard to tell since the pic isnt very good

 

[OohFeeshy]

They're not skinny enough to be rope fish, but without a closer look and better colour pictures, the exactspecies is hard to tell. There are several with the typical 'senegal' colouring including the assorted p. palmas species, the senegals and a couple of others I forget.

really? it just looks like the ones ive seen really.. its hard to tell since the pic isnt very good

yea i realise that.

well to be honest and after thinking about it. im not too fussed if hes a true STF really.

i still like him! lol



as for the bichir, think ill jus keep looking but as far as i can tell they all have a similar temprement so it shouldnt matter 2 much.
