new fish arrived today

[Jason_S]

these guys were a little bigger than I expected. they were still difficult to photograph though due to their silver color and overall small size.

What kind are they?

Sorry if it's a dumb question.

I says in the title "V. argentea"


JasonS: I wanted to know what kind of fish is that in your avatar? Is it a red devil or a midas?

 

[Jason_S]

GTP2002, they are Vieja argentea...a big central american cichlid closely related to the red headed cichlid (synspilum) and black belt (maculicauda) which are a bit more common.

Konrad05, the fish in my avatar is an ~8" male Red Terror...Cichlasoma festae.
