Id help please, Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section.
-
Mason peacock, red shoulder, ngara flame tail. Look those three up. Pics not clear enough to decipher for me on my small phone.
-
My first instinct was a copadochromis borleyi "kadango red". I think it's an ngara flametail though. It could also be an usisya flavescent that is either colored down really bad, or the lighting could be bad enough to alter the appearance of the color.
-
My first instinct was also copadochromis borleyi, but i am also leaning towards ngara flame tail.
Any other thoughts?
-
Did you buy your house privately or through a realtor cause I might know who's tank this was.
-
Based on the first picture, the head shape is wrong for C. borleyi.
As for a better ID ... the pictures leave a lot to be desired. I know it's hard to take clear pictures of fish, but they are quite dark and blurry. Any chance of pictures taken while using a flash?
-
The tank had been neglected by the previous homeowner, because they were trying to move out. These were the best pics I have taken so far. No flash.

does it look like this?
-
Get a bunch of flashlights & shine them down into the tank.
-
Looks like a Red Shoulder or Ngara to me

Get a bunch of flashlights & shine them down into the tank.
Or just the light on a cell phone?
I agree with all the above guesses. But at this time that's all they are.
-
I have to the tank pretty clean finally, I think the picture I take tonight will be much more clear. Will report back.
Thanks to all who have replied
-
Good luck! Hope you get some good ones!
-
Better pics?
-
Looks like a red shoulder peacock to me.
-
I'd say Red shoulder as well after seeing these pics
-
Could be a blue dragons blood. Hard to tell use a flash on the pic?

Could be a blue dragons blood.
That'd be my bet.
