Help id this victorian cichlid

[sweetlowride]

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone can help me id this Victorian Cichlid. I know its a Haplochromis just not sure which one, Closest I could find is the Red Tail.

The pics dont show the vertical black banding very well or how red its fins are as he/she didnt want to color up fully for the pictures.

Any help would be appreciated


THANKS

Haplochromis Sp. 44 "Thick Skin"

Yeah, I agree with ninez. He appears to be a Haplochromis sp. 44 "Thick Skin", also known as Haplochromis obliquidens or Astatotilapia sp. "Red Tail".

Very close but I think im leaning more towards the Haplochromis Brownae or also known as the Astatotilapia Brownae.

The pic looks identical to mine so im pretty sure thats it. Good thing too because it sounds like these guys are alot less aggressive then the Haplochromis "Red Tail"


Anyone have these fish or have in the past?????? Great looking fish and a excellent addition to my display tank
