Wayne n Kell Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I know this guy is a nicaraguensis, but there are many types, have done a fair bit or research on the net, but have not been able to nail him / her down, just hoping its not a hybrid, very freindly with my jag, especialy when the jag is nest building The photos are not the best re true colouring, the blue around the gill plate and forward onto the face is quite vivid, with shades of green on the shoulder, the fins are a nice burt orange.
