Thank you. I got them for 88 cents a piece. They seem to fit in well with my to adult female dempseys and juvenile convicts, and a gold fish? Don't know how he made it.

Wow thats a steel!!

I'm never good at this, but the first one kinda looks like a Astatotilapia "Tomato" or a "Thick skin" that would be from the Lake Victoria area (east Africa)

Of course I could be way off but I try lol!

#1 obliquidens?? And either way they're hard to get and a steal at that price. Good score!

Ha all I took was a shot too! Saw some on aquabid that looks like it today. Still not sure but I do know I want one!

And I think the names you used and I used are the same fish anyway! I'm terrible at it and you never can tell till you see them color iPod in good water etc. at least I know I can't.

Thank you both for the help. I bought 8 total and 4 were eaten the first night. My friend bought the other 8 the store had and his turtle ate them all. I will try to get a little better pictures of them in the morning when I get home.

Wow are they lots smaller than the established fish? I missed you said ADULT jd's I don't think they'd let much live in their tank that's a new addition. My experience at least back in the day. Only time I ever had a new fish live with mine was when I got a green terror the same size and put them in a new tank at the same time together. Sometimes they're mean sob's. had one kill 4 pacu and 2 other jd's and a red devil all same size or bigger he's now a lone fish in a 55

My jds are about 8-10 inches long and are even allowing a half inch convict to live in the tank. For the most part they are very docile, only a few times have they been territorial. It's actually quite fun to see them interact with the others.

I also forgot that I have 2 tire track eels. Must be because they constantly hide in their cave.
