Another ID pleases

[Boupette]

Was suppose to import some agassizii but I don't think it is. I know it's not very clear, but can you ID him?

Looks like a bitaeniata type...

Thanks Ted!

 

[Frank Hättich]

it's A. cacatuoides

 

[Boupette]

Surely not cacatuoides Frank!

 

[Frank Hättich]

Why not Helene? Can you post a better picture of the fish?

 

[Boupette]

After search and reflexion, yes it coud be Frank. I will try to get more pics. But the 2 lines seems to be clear for me.

 

[Frank Hättich]

if it's not A. cacatuoides, it's something very, very similar, maybe some A. cf. cacatuoides. But surely not A. bitaeniata.

Strange, I see 3 abdominal stripes. Thick lips and relatively short dorsal/anal fin tips all point to a cacatuoides-group species. I, too, agree. Better photos would be helpful.

Hi,

I would agree Frank and Mike. This is A. cacatuoides.

No chance for A. biaeniata or something like that...

I cannot have any other pic. This fish was part of a group-buy among many others SA, supposed to be a agassizii! So sad we don't have many good links for wild shipping in Canada. Is there anybody honest you know here who can ship in Québec Canada?

Oliver Lucanus/Below Water in Montreal www.facebook.com/belowwater/timeline is specialized to rare species.
