3,4, and 7 right nice job neutrinoman!

1. 'Cichlasoma' octofasciatus
3. Geophagus steindachneri
4. Heros appendiculatus (severum)
5. Thorichthys meeki on left, I don't have a clue on the right but looks like an Amphilophus of sorts
6. Laetacara curviceps
7. Herotilapia multispinosa
8. Thorichthys sp. 'mixteco blue'

Of course, the NW pro nails almost all of them
Have the heros been re-described recently Mike? I was thinking I had H. efasciatus?

The one to the right in #5 is a passive female multispinosa


Anyone got #2?

[Trainer]

H, I just took a guess 'cause your severum seem to be in spawning colors there so I couldn't tell which actual species they were.

Most of the fish sold as green severum here in the states are actually the turquoise severum, Heros appendiculatus.

Heros efasciatus have more spotting and broken lines through their bodies, and in general are a little more colorful.

The true Heros severus is a magnificent fish, and unfortunately rarely seen in the hobby.

Again, H. appendiculatus was just a guess on my part. You very well may have H. efasciatus. I just can't tell from that pic

[Heather]

WOW Mike, I just learned something new thanks so much

I always thought H. efasciatus was the "common severum"

Thanks again

I am now more edumacated

How you doing Trainer? been a while!

#2 looks like a juvie elliotti to me

I have been waiting for someone to get that one

Nice job

[sev]

lol, thanks, but I cheated. I think I would have known, regardless. The only one I didn't know was the geo, I'm pretty weak with those. Weaker than I am with the others, at least.

All I can say is that I want a true Heros severus now

Hey sev, good to 'see' you too. How about posting up some of your pics of 'Big Red' or his progeny for us?

For those who may not know, sev has what is arguably the most beautiful Thorichthys meeki ever seen!

[Heather]

I agree Mike... sev's meeki was gorgeous

I just love Thorichthys
