looks like Nicaraguan Cichlid to me

No question in it at all...the advert labels them as geophagus, just slightly wrong there

Shame he has 3, I'd have taken one possibly...

Checked his other listings and he is selling 4 Green Terrors as Blue Acaras!

BARGE and POLE spring to mind...

 

[kaivalagi]

Gotta agree, if he doesn't even know what fish he has then they're probably not well treated and if shipped who knows...

Trouble is you dont know what the person who bought them was told they were! I have done it myself seen an ad for baby blue acara, dispatched hubby on a 50 mile round trip. He came back with 18 little fish (I only wanted 6) they started to grow up and found out they were Texas!

You think he just found some pics that looked like the fish (in his mind anyway) and used them?

Yeah but he hasn't bothered to find out what they are since buying them, and a little Googling makes it quite clear what he has.

I bought my GT as a BA, only got conned as she was so tiny. I've learned from it though and am not buying such tiny fish again.

Unfortunately someone is going to buy these pretty fishes and not have a clue what they are taking on... Four GT's like mine in a tank? Wouldn't be peaceful.
