    Cichlid ID Help Please

    Does anyone know the common name or sceintific collar for this convict look alike? They do resemble convicts a little but I don't believe they are.





    I bought four of them from the HAS auction last August, and they where very small then, now they are just under 3 inches and have very pretty blue eyes.

    Anyone know this fish...?   They are light grey with black vertical bars, and very pretty blue eyes.

    thanks

      I concur. Especially since I'm the one that brought them to the auction.  Glad to see they're doing well.

        CF -- Check out Archocentrus nigrofasciatus -- Honduran Red Point and see if they match up.
        Yours have some good striping.  If they are non-convict blended you will notice the third stripe does NOT complete to the back.
        Several pictures out there looks like them.   Do a little research and see what you think.

            I've always liked them, they looked good and had hardy little dispositions, they have turned out to be very good looking little cichlids.....

            thanks Charles
