Pics Of My 90gal

[kniesh]

Hi guys, just thought i would put a couple of pics up, taken with my phone but a couple turned out quite good i think, especially of the Severum. Most of these are being moved to a 180gal within the next few weeks, a couple are gonna be re-homed

Full tank shot to start

On the left is the possible Hybrid, anyone any ideas? The right is my female GT, she is just starting to colour up but will probably be going back because she is flirting with my male false GT who i deffo want to keep

Brightest thing ever, Parrot, hes a lovely looking fish, not dyed!

Red Shoulder Severum, this one doesnt show his Dorsal and tail colours fully but does show the red quite well

False GT, I hope this is a false Gt, bought as an Acara, i think it is a GT though

The possible Hybrid again, I am still none the wiser

Anybody who can confirm I.Ds on the Blue Acara/Convict or can confirm that the Gt is a false one, in the second to last photo, please feel welcome. Thanks for looking

Vinny

I cant help Id but I can say, LOVE that severum. They had two large like that at a local LFS which I was dying to own, but at £40 each, I decided against it.

This is a nice pic of my Severum

Senegal

Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, in the background is that possible Hybrid too

I like this one for some reason, although he is my favourite fish

That hybrid again?

Anostonus

Not the best pic I know, (they weren't fighting either), but look at the dorsal and Tail colours on the GT, he is only just over 3" too

Probably the best pic for an I.D

Wow, this guy cost me £10, the blue on his tail and dorsal dont show up properly on these pics but they are quite strong

Whilst these wont help you ID the mystery acara/hybrid, Ive just taken a couple of snaps of my largest blue acara, for you too see.

Not sure if you can see any similarities with yours?

Different to both mine that were sold as Blue Acaras, nice fish though. The one i think is a false GT is definately more of a purple colour with orange trims. I had been looking for one for ages, then came accross this guy listed as a Blue Acara for £2. He looked so much the boss in with the others so i had to buy him. I was certain at the time he was a GT, now I am pretty certain he is a false GT which would be quite lucky.

Well could be that mine arent blue acaras If anyone knows any different I would be very grateful for an ID

The two smaller acaras that I have are not in full colour yet, but they look different to that one as well Dont you just love LFS!

Yours actually look more like a JD to me, around the face anyway. They are certainly not the colour of young JD tho

 

[minxfishy]

Oh heck, I hope not

Just done a google search on JD's = he does look more like one than the google search of BA's

 

[Davo86]

Oh heck, I hope not

Merlin they actually look like juvi Texas Cichlids,
Def not a sort of acara thats for sure

 

[minxfishy]

Merlin is my Oscar.

Oh pants, in which case, I think they need to go.

Oops course it is, sorry minxfishy,

 

[minxfishy]

No worries

Ok just googled texas cichlid as I know nothing about them, and OMG he is indeed a blue texas cichlid - in which case he needs out of my Oscar tank Immediately - trouble is I have nowhere for him to go The other two dont look like that though, so Im gonna get some pics and start a new thread so someone can ID for me.

 

[s.h.w]

100% Texas Cichlid I got two, but it is a beauty
