Zeaqua Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Hi all! I thought I’d try this again with some “better” photos. (this fish was really hard to get in good lighting!) A while ago, I posted a few pictures of some mystery cichlid that I couldn’t identify. There weren’t any definite results, so I thought I’d try again! I had bought it as Apistogramma Cacatuoides, and I am almost certain it is an Apistogramma, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it was in some closely related genus. This individual changes color fairly often, usually being a light tan with a dark patch down its lateral line, but it occasionally switches to a more yellowish hue. My main goal is to find it a mate, and I think this one may be a female, but if you may know the sex, that would also be very helpful! Pics attached below, it would only come out for frozen daphnia though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSunfish Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 (edited) Looks like a goldeneye cichlid (Nannacara anomala). Edited October 13 by AtomicSunfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 It does look like a female nannacara anomola but the tail fin is throwing me off. For the female nannacara the tail fin is clear but this one has some color to it. I’d guess a young male apisto macmasteri but I would also check with an apistogramma group to be sure. They’d be able to identify it more accurately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Agree with @knee check with Apisto group. This does look female. It does not look like my nannacara anomala though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeaqua Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 I’ll see if I can find any answers from an apisto group! After looking at some pictures of N. anomala, some of the coloration looks similar, but with my individual, the head shape is a bit more pointed. Here’s a side profile that I was just able to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
