I got this cool fish from a maidenhead aquatics, the two staff didnt seem 100% sure but they sold it to me as a nigerian red female. i got a male and female, the female looks like a totally different fish, help with ID would be great.

Hi Dave,

Possibly a young Nigerian Red Kribensis - have a look at this link and see what you think.

If its not that then you are going to have to wait for someone more knowledable than me

thanks eddie, sorry about the fuzzy pic, looked at link the male definately looks like a nigerian red, the fmale pictured above has similar fins, the body has blue green irridescent body, no stripes. Its about the same size as the male so it isnt like a typical small fish.
