Guppysnail Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I was watching the swimming with cichlids members presentation. This fish came up. I’ve tried every crazy spelling I can think of and can’t find it on the web. She pronounced it air-o-manus mark-smith-eye please help with the spelling so I can look it up. It was at 15:07 on the video. Thanks 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 The 2nd of many binomials refer to an important field biologist. I guessed “Mark Smith” + “i” = marksmithi There’s actually another Tanganyikan cichlid named Julidochromis marksmithi… My personal hobby-hook fish is the German Blue Ram. Mikrogeophagus ramirezi. = “Mikro” (small) + “geophagus” (ca. dirt-eater) + “ramirezi” (after Manuel Ramirez) — a guy who was busy… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 @Fish Folk bonus trophy if you can tell me what this fish is. It came from this video I just watched on the E. Marksmithi it’s a breeding report video at the end shows the white fish several times https://www.gcca.net/index.php/art-pics/cichlid-profiles-list/tanganyikan-cichlids/416-eretmodus-marksmithi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) @Guppysnail 😅 sheesh… I don’t know! Maybe just a juvenile. But it looks like maybe a… juvenile species of Lepidiolamprologus At first blush, I wanted to say it was maybe a skinny Livingstoni, similar to Venustus… but I’ve no really solid guesses. For that matter… could just be a skinny juvenile Tilapia! Edited September 7 by Fish Folk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
