Guess the fish game?

[DiscusnAfricans]

Was looking at the picture of the main page highlighting Tony's talk and started ID'ing all of the fish in the picture. Thought it might be a fun game for people to submit their guesses on IDs of as many fish as they can pick out from the picture. Maybe the speaker at next month's meeting would have a prize for the person with the most correct guesses? List genus and species, don't need to know a collection point. I'll start.

I spy (1) Nimbochromis Venustus

 

[Tony]

Fun! Here's the picture.

 

[DiscusnAfricans]

No guesses? I guess Tony has a lot to go over at the meeting.

I spy (or think I spy):
Pundamilia nyerei
Protomelas taeniolatus "Super Red Empress"
Aulonocara baenschi
Ruby Red Peacock
OB Peacock
Otopharynx lithobates
Cyrtocara moorii ?

Great calls. I think the sulfurhead is actually an Aulonocara Maylandi, as opposed to Otopharynx Lithobates, but Tony would have to confirm. Those two would be toughto distinguish without detailed shots. There are still plenty of unidentified fish left!

 

[Reel Addiction]

I spy a orange one lol!

 

[dogofwar]

Labeotropheus trewavasae
Aristochromis christyi
Aulonocara jacobfreibergi
Nyassochromis boadzulu
Dimidochromis compressiceps
Red Top Lethrinops

...at least those are the ones that Siena could pick out...

Matt

 

[Cartel]

Buccochromis Nototaenia

 

[DiscusnAfricans]

All good calls. Siena is getting to be quite the expert. There are still a few more left...

 

[Tony]

Wow guys. You all are rockin' them out.

You all are either very good or have been over to my house and know what fish I keep.

 

[dogofwar]

Buccochromis rhodesei.

Do I spy a Nimbochromis polystigma...and a little fusco?

And a white tail acei?

"Sulfur Head" Protomelas taeneolatus (sp?)

What's the three spot guy (bottom right)? Stigmatochromis or something else...

Matt

 

[dogofwar]

She knows New World better.

Ask Rich about her cold ID of the centrarchus (in the bag no less)

I don't know whether to be proud or cry...

Matt

Nope. (Though I suspect you did that on purpose)

I spy (or think I spy):
Pundamilia nyerei
Protomelas taeniolatus "Super Red Empress"
Aulonocara baenschi
Ruby Red Peacock
OB Peacock
Otopharynx lithobates
Cyrtocara moorii ?

Yup on all. No lithobates though.

I spy a orange one lol!

Correct!

Labeotropheus trewavasae
Aristochromis christyi
Aulonocara jacobfreibergi
Nyassochromis boadzulu
Dimidochromis compressiceps
Red Top Lethrinops

No red top lethrinops. Albus though (which looks the same if not colored up)

Buccochromis Nototaenia

Yup

Great calls. I think the sulfurhead is actually an Aulonocara Maylandi,

Yup

 

[Tony]

Buccochromis rhodesei.

"Sulfur Head" Protomelas taeneolatus (sp?)

Matt

Dude - now you're getting all hard core on me....

-Chilotialpia rhodesii (Wil called the only Bucco I had in there)
-N. polystigma - yes (also a livingstoni). No fusco though - something *very* similar....
-White tail acei up top (with the bum eye)
-No sulfur head P. spilonotus
-No idea what the dude in the bottom right is - maybe Hemitilapia oxyrhynchus? Only Stigmatochromis I had was modestus red in that tank...

 

[DiscusnAfricans]

Still at least 7 unidentified fish, probably more like 10. I think that mystery fish is a hemitilapia, only other thing it could be would be an otopharynx **********.

 

[dogofwar]

You want seven more...how about 8

Hard to see but:
Firefish (Fancy peacock)
Bi-color 500 peacock (A. stuartgranti with Yellow Shoulder)
Tropheus (red one)
Protomelas "Taiwan Reef"
Sunshine Peacock
Labeotropheus fuelleborni
Metriaclima zebra (orange one)?
A pleco hiding under a rock...

 

[dogofwar]

Testing to see if lithobates is somehow a banned word on here (*******)...

Peacock used to be (Pea****)

[Tony]

Good calls Matt. Technically, that fulleborni is a trewevasae (jenwilliamsi), but still good calls.

Anyone notice the mustard colored fish towards the lower right? That's an easy one...

How about the big hap over the bi-color?

 

[dogofwar]

The mustardy one is some kind of Protomelas, right?

One more: Champsochromis coeruleus (near the bottom)...

As an aside, this picture would make a great puzzle

I guess there is a bunch of African cichlids
