Hi!

A month or so ago I bought a number of fish from a downsizing breeder. I mostly recieved Angels. However, I also recieved a bunch of Bolivian Rams and goldish fish that is about the same size as the Bolivians.... At least for the moment. The fish looks (to me at least) like a baby Gold Severum. But I keep exclusivly the dwarf cichlids, Rams, Angels, and Discus. So I'm not sure.....

Here are a few pics of him.

Thanks!
Amanda.

looks like a Severum or mybe a connvict

Not a severum IMO. Severums have deeper bodied appearance than the one on the pic. Closer to convict though.

Red devil and there is a reason they are named so.

 

[Gump]

100% not a red devil or severum.

Its either a odd pink convict, or a jelly bean convict.

 

[Lupin]

I was pretty sure it's a convict. A jellybean parrot has deeper bodied shape. If only I got pictures of my convict and jellybean parrots 5 years ago.:dunno:

 

[flatcam1]

i think it is some variety of a convict.

it is 100% not a parrot...

 

[Gump]

around here they have jellybean convicts that look just like normal cons with that have been dyed. its gross.

Con definnatley.

looks con to me :wink:

with the fish suggested i think i might have come up with the fish.

everyone thinks its a convict but it has the pointed fins of a severum?
what could it be? convicts have more of a rounded fin at the back. and both of there fins ushally curve up/down.

so i think its a severum. i might be wrong...

Now where is Daz's golden severum?:roll: Daz! Pls post your severum pic here. Let's compare the body of the sev to the one posted on the first one.:brow: I still vote for con by the way.:wink2:

Edit: Here are Dlil's severums.:thumbsup:

Comparing both pics, the pics on the first post are still cons to me.

 

[bolty]

baby sev, no fin rays

baby con, if you look it has long fin rays

[KishFeeper]

you have to look at his back fins :/

 

[bolty]

yeah thats right have a look, they go back past the tail both top and bottom :?

 

[Daz]

They are not Sevs, I know my Sevs and they most certainly are not.

 

[bolty]

maybe this pic is a liitle to hard for ppl to see the anal/dorsal fin rays at the back so i foun some more, where else are fin ray's on fish?

my little juvi con female 2inch max

these are cons and they have fin rays,

everyone thinks its a convict but it has the pointed fins of a severum?
what could it be? convicts have more of a rounded fin at the back. and both of there fins ushally curve up/down.

so just coz this fish has fin ray'y it cant be a con?

The fish is the size of a Bolivian Ram at the moment. Which is maybe two or three inches long. But he was kept in a small tank before I got him with hte rams, and he ahs been in a small tank since. The tank he is shown in is a 10 gallon.

Changed my mind, it is a pink convict. The coloring on it's body is to the true to the species, both common black and the pink varieties.
