I just got these from a friend today :D , he didn't know what they are but tought they were apistos (not the one in the middle of course)...

Can you help me?

The pics you want to take a look at is at the top & on the bottom of the topic. The one in the (top three) bottom, they think might be a Cryptoheros sajica...??! :?
(one suggestet zebra-ciklid and that's why there is a zebra picture as well... :wink: )

Don't worry about the language :oops: it's Norwegian, and the topic is the same as here: please help me identifying these :lol:

And... the fish is probably juveniles...

Dear Scalarefan,

The only cichlid in the group that I can see well is the Archocentrus nigrofasciatus. The other photos are quite dark, so I can't discern the coloration and markings.

Sorry.

Hi Randall - thanx for trying.

The fish was very stressed after going trough a rough time before I got them - hiding under a piece of driftwood in an almost dry tank...

I've got these suggestions
1)apistogramma cruzi (this is light grey with darker markings, yellowish tale-fin and some metallic blue spots on the head. I'ts about 4 cm and probably imported form Brazil)
2) yoyo loach
3) Archosentrus sajica (this is probably very young, only about 2 cm, brown/grey stiped with a red stripe on the top of the back-fin)

I hope this will help, if you care to take another look???

Sissel
