Hello fellow fish-heads, caught this on another forum. Thought it may be good to run here. We have never had a guessing game , so I thought I would start one.
Just a few rules:
1. Has to be a Cichlid!
2. Scientific name required (unless it is such a common aquarium strain that the common name is well known to just about everybody)
3. Should be an actual species, not a hybrid (or at least fit the type of a common aquarium strain)
4.No hints. (Unless there have been many, many wrong guesses or no one is getting it after many weeks.)
5. If you guess right, you are suposed to post a new picture for others to guess at. You have 48 hours.....if you do not post a picture then anyone else is free to put up a new picture in order to keep the game going.
You can use pictures of your own fish, pictures from the internet, or pictures scanned form books.
I think a guessing game is good practice for identifying cichlids. Good practice for all of us, but especially to those who are fairly new to Cichlids.
I'll start:
