Topogigio Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Looks like a Cryptoheros? Septemfasciatus? If so, congratulations... To me the fish looks like a male. Why? Black spot on upper lower back & maroon body colour. Females are more golden in colour... I could be wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguts Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Geez mate, I hope you are right. :yes: As you know i've been looking for some....somebody else suggested that it had too much blue in its face to be a chocolate.Oh well..... we'll see what it grows up to be.thanks for the reply.BTW how are yours going??

Topogigio Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm 99% sure it's not a chocolate.My septemfaciatus are doing great - thanks man; I think they have laid once since I last spoke to you, but are not aggressive enough to defend them.

Andrew Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I don't know where you'll get a female - that is one species in short supply! Keep looking though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishguts Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah, they used to be quite common.I remember seeing them on fish lists years ago.I've never kept them before, that's why i didn't recognise it.I'm trying to trace where the shop got it from....It came from a "supermarket" type store. They are famous for not knowing too much about what they sell.you know the places....half a dozen "15year olds" running the joint.they have one bloke who's fairly cluey, but hes not back til thursday..... so wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
