10-11-2006 20:52 by Ste	ok guys i have searched all over the net to find out what this fish is, So at the risk of making myself look stupid ,can any one tell me what it is

10-11-2006 21:03 by nige	it looks like a hybrid, as all of its fins are ragged (not from fighting type ragged) but its got the dorsal of an apiso and the body of an aquidens..?!?
10-11-2006 21:13 by Ste	its been under attack in a malawi tank thats why its ragged but i have 2 of them
10-11-2006 21:19 by zak	looks like a Rainbow cichlid (Herotilapia multispinosa)

11-11-2006 10:51 by jonie	looks closet to herotilapia multispinosa A.K.A. rainbow cichlid nice fish when breeding and when not
11-11-2006 13:59 by OLD MAN	if he is part of the *** taliban how is that a respectful thing? or do you mean he was in the army and was sorting out the idiots?
11-11-2006 14:22 by Ste	i had a look at Cichlisoma (nandopsis)motaguense which is actually part of the jag cichlid family nandopsis, but to be honest wasnt sure kingie11 . it could well be one of them
11-11-2006 17:38 by bluboy	looks like its definetly a rainbow ciclid. i have six babies and did loads of research on them. definetly rainbow ciclids
11-11-2006 20:17 by heros hero	get it out of that malawi tank fella,rainbows are one of the most peaceful american cichlids. Looks female by the way
11-11-2006 20:40 by curviceps	I'd go along with rainbow cichlid as well.
11-11-2006 21:09 by heros hero	just to clear this up cos it's bugging me. You bought a fish you knew nothing about, didn't ask anyone about it at the store you got it from and threw it in with a bunch of malawi?
12-11-2006 01:32 by Caz	Your fish is definately a beaten up and bullied jeuvenile Rainbow Cichlid (Herotilapia Multispinosa). They need softer water than the Malawis so you should move them into a different tank if you can. Here are some useful info links on them: http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_Herotilapia_multispinosa.php http://www.aquariumlife.net/profiles/central-american-cichlids/rainbow-cichlid/100152.asp http://www.aqua-fish.net/show.php?what=fish&id=295&cur_lang=2 http://filaman.ifm-geomar.de/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=12315 May I suggest that you 'google' before buying a fish as it saves you money and lfs bulls**t.
12-11-2006 12:00 by Linda Chenapa	Yes it is a rainbow cichlid, they are quite timid fish. heros hero - Have you NEVER done that? I think if we are all honest, we have done that in the past!
12-11-2006 14:16 by Ste	I done a deal witha guy who wanted to shift all his fish they were in the deal , i have 2 of them look like male and female, There tank mates were 2 ten inch pacu various malawis clown loach ten inch plec and get this ... a blue gourami . You will all be pleased to know that the rainbows are currently living with my baby wild green sevs and a geophagus surinamensis they are safe now
12-11-2006 14:17 by Ste	oh did i say cheers for the help guys.
12-11-2006 14:22 by Ste	And before you ask the malawis are in a 10ft system with other malawis the pacus are in a 5x2x2 the plec is in a 4x2x2 , and the gourami has joined my platys guppys and mollys in my community tank .... Problem solved
12-11-2006 14:26 by Ste	whoops almost forgot the clown loach has gone to my mothers house to live in this aquariam
12-11-2006 14:47 by Ste	whoops i forgot to add 3 siver dollars that were also in the tank, they have remained with theere little rainbow cichlid freinds
