What kind of chiclid do I have?

[desi911]

He's about an inch and a half long, is light grey with a dark grey stripe going horizontally down the middle, and his tailfin and back end of his dorsal fin have a pattern reminiscent of a monarch butterfly? Anyone know?

Thanks in Advance,
Desi

I will be very impressed if anyone can make an I.D. without a photograph. It really would be tremendously helpful if you could attach one.

I tried, but the photo was too large for the site. Would it work if I posted a link to a picture of him on facebook?

Do you have a photobucket account ?

You could up-load your pics there and link it here

The below thread also explains it

Apistogramma sp. not sure on the EXACT tho

[desi911]

thank you so much! i just found a pic of a mature version of the one I have on a uk forum, still don't have the species name, but i'll work on it! Thanks again.

These people are good at I.D.ing a fish.

Could it be a Apistogramma sp. Abacaxis. I'm going by the strip and fin colour.

One question I didn't ask is; Is the fish a juvenile or an adult?

[desi911]

I'll try that in the future. Thank you!!

[desi911]

haha, they certainly are. and I actually just found one similar called Apistogramma cacatuoides, and if that's the kind I have, then my guy is definately a juvenile.

[Strider199]

Glad your on the way to getting your answer desi.
Have a blast with what you find.:22:

[desi911]

here he is, Apistogramma cacatuoides "double red". I'm pretty sure he is a juvenile due to his fins not being 100% developed.

oh, and i read the thread on posting pics, thanks for that lol

anywho, here he is
