Common Or Sailfin ?

[Sziren]

Thought I would ask the specialists for your opinion....

Unfortunately this is the best pic I can get of him/her at the moment..

Used to have a stunning male blue eyed plec back home in Sweden (back in 1995), and also a common plec.
The baby I have now is definately not a blue eyed plec, but not too sure if he is a common plec..?

Looks like a Gibbiceps (Sailfin) to me

I would say common but difficult to tell without seeing the fin.

It's just the colouring that confuses me.... just does not look common to me...???

Will have to sit on "plec - watch" tonight and see if I can get a better pic of the wee baby with his fin up to make the identification easier.

The other thing I was thinking of is that where I bought him from the label said "Wild Caught", but never said where from....?
Must admit that I thought this was a lot of bull.... what is your opinion?

If you speak to smithrc (or is it Jimbooo ??) (and some others) apparently they interbreed.
Now that will probably confuse you more ! But try to get a better picture and we can try and have a better guess

Here are some more pic's in the hope that my baby can be identified....

Thanks!

That's a common. The dorsal fin isn't tall enough to be a Gibby.

Nice markings.

Thanks for your help!
