Fish ID

[Patrick4286]

I can't remember the name of this fish nor can I find my receipt. Can anyone shed any light onto what it is?

looks like a nimbochromis venustus? anyone agree?
niiiice skull cave haha

Looks to me like a livingstoni but I am terrible at african IDs.

 

[spoonman]

I agree with the venustus. Possibly a male and female???

I think I'm gonna throw a vote in for Nimbochromis livingstonii. The jaw looks a bit on the long side to me.

 

[kay-bee19]

I think Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus.

 

[Patterson333]

I think Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus.

Lol well at least we can all agree on the genus.

I agree, I've had them before and that's what they look like...

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

male and female? theres two?

 

[Patrick4286]

Na just one and I have no clue the sex?

 

[Fearitself]

i agree with Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus.

 

[bcurlacher54]

venustus maybe?

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

im the typical simpleton and google anything i cant remember or find on this forum. images show waaay more similarities to venustus than either of the others. however it also looks like juvi livingstonii (similar to much fewer pics tho) and like feminine fuscotaeniatus (also fewer matches).
we are all arguing in the best interest, no one is being harsh or sarcastic, dont feel offended by any opinions expressed x

 

[garfy]

Livingstoni I think

Nimbochromis species grow relatively quickly. As this fish matures and gains size it's true identity will become apparent.

this sounds like the arguement about the Eevee on pokemon - what it will evolve into. when i was little i always wanted the flame one :L
