Mouth is wrong for a Fusco on #1

Look at the head, dorsal & anal fin on #2 . There's No way that's a Johanni

I know the pictures I took were crappy, which makes it difficult and I know how everyone doesn't like it when Blair gets his horn tooted, but after googling what he identified, those looked exactly like what he stated.  :P I don't want to discourage anyone from guessing though, all of the comments are appreciated!!

Whatever you do, don't EVER encourage Blair, or we'll have to send him for shock therapy again.   :o

On a serious note, I believe Blair used to be a freshwater manager for a lfs before his current occupation, so generally speaking you can at least trust him to correctly identify a fish for you.

Actually Marty,  my knowledge of Malawi comes from being obsessed with them about 15 years ago. I didn't have the internet back then so I bought every damn book I could get my hands on. But, I did work at a petland. (Not a manager/just ran the fish dept )

WHAT?!? No Internet? I saw a pay phone the other day and I took a picture of it. I sat there and imagined my son tugging at my shirt and pointing to it saying "mom, what is that" lmao
