What Is This?

[Cichlid_Crazy]

I went down to buy some Cons earlier....i got this one..

and this one from the same tank....

In the shop it looked like a Convict...but not till i got it home and seen it next to the one i already had and the other that i bought did i realise it looks different.

My money is on T-Bar x Convict

Anybody know?

Cryptoheros Cutteri or jade eye maybe, hard to tell.

Never kept one before....like i said in the hsop he was in with a Convict brood...looked identical under the crappy shop lighting...then when i got it home, it looks more like the 2 mentioned (t-bar or jade eye)

It's body shape is more convict and its face is deffo convict.

he was only £3 so no biggy, im sure in the convict tank they had HRP's aswell for £3...

It was a wierd tank...all were labelled as convicts but it contaiend Cons,Pink Cons,Marble Cons, Juvi JD's and a few that looked like HRPs....no T-Bars or jade eyes tho...but they did have them elsewhere

I kinda feel bad for it if it is a T-Bar because he is in a tank of monsters with my 6 GT's,Texas and Convicts

Heres a pic i forgot to add...side by side wth a Con

I would say jade eye that final pic shows off a fair amount of jade in the actual eye.

Nice convict also, looks female to me =-)

I find it really hard to distinguish T-Bars from Jade Eyes....they always seem to be hybrids of eachother anyway.

Thanks for the comment on the Female Con she is beautiful....my bigger Male Con thinks so to

I may give them there own tank later on...they are with my Green Terror Juvis for now.

Heres some better(ish) pics so you can see the colours easier

The last pic looks yellow for some reason...mainly because of plants in the backround i think....plus the flash...the first pic is without flash.

here is a pic of google images of a t-bar that looks similar

Heres my convict again...just because i think shes awesome

 

[star4]

WOW I can certainly see the difference with those other pics, it is a really stunning looking fish!

A few members on MFK said it is deffo a female Archocentrus sajica.

Not good news...She will pretty certainly get killed by his tank mates, will have to rehome her i think.

Google image i found^^ pretty much identical

Yup a tbar lucky. I would love one but never ever see them. but yeah the convicts will beat her up.

just to let you know, this one is a spilurum or cutteri, not a T bar

 

[Cichlid_Crazy]

O right...google images says 'Sajica'

Nevermind hes going back now anyway whether Watermarque like it or not...i'll just dump him on the counter if they wont take him and have a lil big word with the manager
