Chuco intermedius?

No, Tramitichromis intermedius. Guess I should have been more specific....

Ok.. So same fish or different fish.. Internet is confused. Tramitichromis and lethrinops?

Same fish

Both of the names aren't correct, but that's what it goes by.

Used to be in the Lethrinop genus and was reclassified as Tramitichromis from what I have been told.

A good summary of the issue with the name.

and a video of the real T. intermedius

I too purchased the Otopharynx tetrastigma as Tramitichromis intermedius and bred and distributed them as such except after some research at which point I distributed them as Tramitichromis sp. "intermedius" as that was what was suggested to specify that they weren't the true intermedius. I sold my last breeding pair before people started agreeing that they are Otopharynx tetrastigma, though I do have my last group of fry still growing out and a couple of males in my male tank.

Weird how these topics pop up like this, I have been wondering what type of fish this was and now I know. I have a 6" Otopharynx tetrastigma (that I got from Oyers) that is available that I would sell or trade. $50.00 or trade for a Red Cap Lethrinops or Protomelas sp. "spilonotus tanzania" similar size 5" / 6". The colors are just like the ones included in the links provide by lilscoots.

Sorry Josh - I just realized I probably should have started a new thread..

Here is a similar pic of my fish, but not an actual pic of my fish:

Yeah.. the confusing continues..

So the two females I have look like Lethrinops (and the pic below - head shape anyway) and I believe have three very distinct spots exactly like the faded spots on the side of the fish Maize posted..

The horror.. the horror..

The real lethrinops have a much rounder (less pointy) face than the otopharynx, and the otopharynx have a much rounder face than most peacocks and the Copadichromis species I have....can you post a pic of your females possibly in a new thread?

And yes, it seems we've hijacked your thread Josh.

If no one wants him I will be taking him to a LFS next Monday.

eden2020 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 23, 2014, 05:46:14 PM »

Which one..? Lol

I would take him but from fenton it would be $20 in gas...
