Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm still curious about the actual species though, anyone have any ideas?

hi, my jewel cichlid's around 4 inches and he's developed 2 spots, one at the joint between his body and tail, another in the middle of his body. I think he looks like Hemichromis bimaculatus but could he be something else?

They're not that hard to find, most local fish stores should be able to get them in for you. As for using the fry as feeder fish, I'm pretty sure it's not allowed - I think it's actually against the law to use any fish as feeders, but I might be wrong, someone correct me if I am.

He got stuck in a filter intake when he was little, I think that's what makes him unique.

Just a quick thought before setting up my biotope - I've got a fish I'm trying to ID and I was wondering if anyone could confirm if he's a Hemichromis letourneuxi or a Hemichromis lifalili. I've got a picture here but the file's too large to upload, so here's a link: http/i1237.photobucket.com ...

I'd go with Polyphemus, the one-eyed giant. A cyclops from Greek mythology, son of Poseidon, and a pretty fierce creature.
