identifying the jewel cichlid

Post by dylanox »

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/albums/ff473/dylanox/20130624_210236_zpsc377fe55.jpg. Would really appreciate any help, thanks.

Honestly not sure, could be either Hemichromis letourneuxi or Hemichromis lifalili, I'm no expert.

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