02-07-2006 12:45 by paul stevens	How funny is that i was looking at these fish yesterday in a shop ive not seen them untill then i looked at the name and now i cant remember what it was called now. Sorry mate
02-07-2006 13:01 by wymcot	This looks very mucj like a Copadichromis Geerstii, simliar to Lithobates
02-07-2006 13:09 by paul stevens	They had these fish in chessington aquatics yesterday and they had them up as Otopharynx Lithobates.
02-07-2006 13:25 by darknight	hi wymcot the Copadichromis Geerstii or virginalis blotch looks to be so much darker than my fish. i also think they are lithobates but was told something else. pic of blotch
02-07-2006 21:37 by wymcot	darknight - I wish my Geersti looked like this, it was possibly this pics that made me get them in the 1st place Unfortunately mine are now adult an do not have these stricking colours, although they are still a lovely fish and looked very much like yours above when they aere a little younger

03-07-2006 11:04 by darknight	hi thanks for all the help, when i bought them i was told two where Copadichromis verginalis and one was an otopharynx lithobate, which was which i cant remember so i thought i would ask and see if anybody knew . somebody is selling Copadichromis verginalis and they sent me this pic it does look like fish no 1, if fish no 1 is a Copadichromis verginalis then is 2 or 3 verginalis also or are they all lithobates ???? so the question is lithobate or virginalis which is which?????????? here's the pic the person selling Copadichromis verginalis( or not ) sent me
03-07-2006 11:42 by wymcot	darknight, virginalis/geerstii are one of the same thing, the latter being a name rarely used nowadays My money is still on my original suggestion, even more so now
03-07-2006 14:34 by darknight	thanks for all the help Wymcot. i think your right about no 1 being a verginalis , Geersti so would you say no 2 is geersti and no 3 is a otophyrnx lithobate.
03-07-2006 15:57 by wymcot	Having now seen No 2 I'm convinced As for No 3, thats a bit more difficult
03-07-2006 17:11 by darknight	so 1 and 2 deffinately virginalis/geerstii, no 3 must be a Otopharynx Lithobate then methinks. thanks for all the help Wymcot
