Title: HELP identify fish please?
Post by: Ace2324 on February 03, 2013, 01:36:43 PM
I don't know what type of fish these are. Please help identify, and see if the 2nd one is a female. Thank you

I'm not too good at identifying Haps. Looks like a Protomelas species to me though

Dominant male & sub dom is what I'd say.

Oh ok. Thank you. Maybe it's a red empress? and how can you tell the 2nd is a subdominant male?

I think it's a Otopharynx tetraspilus "Yellow Princess Mloto"
Anyone agree?

Body doesn't look right for an azureus and for the otopharynx. Could very well be hybrids. The face reminds me of a cyrtocara moori it even has a little hump growing on the head.
