bre Member Apr 21, 2009 2,571 1 36 Newcastle, Australia Aug 5, 2009 #145 I agree....I can't find anything that matches. I also don't like out of water pics for id, they don't show true colours, fins etc.

Bath, UK Aug 5, 2009 #146 Hi all, It was a bit of a cheat, it's a scientifically undescribed cichlid, thought to be a very large Apistogramma (although I can't see it myself) - Apistogramma sp. "gigas". Came from here: <http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/field/Pipe_Expedition/other%20fishes%202.html> , the catfish pics are quite interesting as well. <http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/field/Pipe_Expedition/Catfishes.html> In fact I've spent hours looking a the whole web site. <http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/field/Pipe_Expedition/Home.html> cheers Darrel Last edited: Aug 5, 2009

Rabbit Retired Staff Apr 21, 2009 1,921 0 36 Auckland, NZ Aug 6, 2009 #147 Well done none the less, take another go preferably something in water though.
D dw1305 Global Moderators Staff member May 5, 2009 1,396 0 36 Wiltshire nr. Bath, UK Aug 6, 2009 #148 No, somebody else can have a go. I can only think of cichlids (or other fish Badis etc., that think they are cichlids). cheers Darrel

Stan Member Apr 23, 2009 2,513 0 36 Shenzhen, China Sep 2, 2009 #153 Sure, I'll have a go. This is a shot from my LFS, name the two tropical fish.
Terry Got Hip kissed Member Apr 27, 2009 464 0 16 Middle Earth Sep 3, 2009 #154 the slender one looks like an arapaima :dk: nice TSN B-)
Stan Member Apr 23, 2009 2,513 0 36 Shenzhen, China Sep 4, 2009 #157 I don't know much about africans, but I'll venture a guess at Nimbochromis, maybe livingstonii?
Terry Got Hip kissed Member Apr 27, 2009 464 0 16 Middle Earth Sep 6, 2009 #158 close enough its Nimbo Venustus :clap: Next..
Stan Member Apr 23, 2009 2,513 0 36 Shenzhen, China Sep 6, 2009 #159 Ok, time to kick it up a notch...
