What kind..

[ooSho]

Okay, this is my mom's fish tank...she has had the tank and the fish for like 10 years now...I was just wondering what kind of fish is it?

 

[judcoynehunter]

it looks like apistogramma agassizii to me (agassiz's dwarf cichlid)

or a golden dwarf acara (nannacara anomala)

can i have another closer pic to dicide

 

[JamesTasker]

I reckon its an agassiz's cichlid as well.

 

[Lateral Line]

Looks more like a rift valley cichlid then an Apistogramma to me.

 

[aberdeen aquarist]

its a melanochromis species not sure which one, maybe freshmike will know.

what a melanochromis auratus( like a malawi golden but a bit under the weather )

my partner said it was yesterday but i over ruled her (now im in trouble thanks lateral lol )

 

[Auratus]

It's not a melanochromis auratus because their are no dots on the tail. But at first glance it does look like a male.

Maybe a melenochromis chipokae male? I don't know too much about them but it looks like it could be one.

EDIT: Are there dots on the upper half of the tail?
I can't really tell by that picture. If there is then it's a male auratus, if not then it's probably a male chipokae.

 

[judcoynehunter]

i still think it looks like a agassiz

send us another pic please

 

[Auratus]

After a closer look I think I see spots so...

I think it's a male Melanochromis Auratus.

 

[reiben]

i need a closer pic to verify

 

[JeremyD]

most certainly a melanochromis sp.

 

[BlueIce]

melanochromis auratus

Sorry for not replying sooner, I was out of town yesterday visiting family (went to the flea marker and scored a 20 gallon aquarium w/light strip, heater, and filter for $10.00) I will get you more pictures of the fish tonight....Thanks everyone for the replies!
