Id a cichlid need some help

[cichlidsooner]

Got this fish at the last HAS auction and it was labeled as a Tawian Reef, but I got my doubts. Any help would be great appreciated. When bought at the auction, there was no color and it was like 2".

Do you happen to have any other pictures?

Re: Id a cichlid need some help

No those are the only ones for now. What do you need to see? This way I can try to get that pic.

Since they came out of the wild.

I guess just a clearer picture of the fins and tail...From what I've seen from looking around, that's where the differences occur. Of course, I don't know much about RLCs...But you've got me intrigued! :)

I guess rocket you got no sunshines. You have sold all those fish as sunshines, you trying to pull a scam? I still vote that dispite the early comments, you still got sunshines! But then again, we just guys with fish tanks in the garage, no over head, and no expenses.

Mzungu I will clean off the water spots from the glass, I should have done that but you know how it goes, keep one tank super clean and well the rest well they the rest. I will post some more once it is done. And of course that fish is in the hard spot to take pics, bottom and in the corner with little room to operate. Thanks for your help.

J-WS6 I would say sunshine as well, but I have seen rocket's collection of sunshines and if you put his beside mine you would tell that his is a sunshine and mine is well suspect of being sold as one thing and being something else.  Thanks for the input!!

Don't think it's the glass as much as the focus...but thanks! Maybe some more pictures will help.  :)

I think you should just sell him to me cheap and not worry about it anymore.  Personally to me, he looks like a mixture.  This might be what happens when a Taiwan Reef male and Sunshine female crossbreed....LOL.

Re: Id a cichlid need some help

LOL...

I do have Sunshines.  Only their face/cheeks are blue, not the entire head.  Yall made me go and look to double check.  Its just that I thought I seen some somewhere like that being sold as Sunshines.

Re: Id a cichlid need some help

That works for me.  The male that got beat on is looking better.  Gonna be sometime this weekend before I can get back over here.  I am house sitting for a friend in Humble for the next two weeks.
