@animalmastermtd:

Hi, my master! =)

Thanks!

[blownable]

Perhaps you could give him a common name of your own, going down into the hall of fish-ame

[n03lzz]

@blownable:

I think that's how the most english names have developed.^^

[FishTankFanatic]

What are those called?  Not the real scientific name. Great Fish, 5/5 :)

[seel1990]

i think they are barred midas

[n03lzz]

@seel1990:

If i google the scientific name (Amphilophus hogaboomorum) , i don't find any page with name "barred midas" on it, and vice versa. Can you prove that name? I know that these guys are very closley related with the "normal" midas cichlid (Amphilophus Citrinellus), so i think you might be right!

[FishTankFanatic]

Actually he can't exactly prove it. Look up barred midas on here youtube. You will come up with some nice delicate bruisers.

[seel1990]

hey n0 to be honest i have no idea what they are they just look like barred midas:)

@n03lzz "Barred Midas" is the common name for the Barred colormorph of Amphilophus citrinellus. Barred and Colored are just stating the colormorph of Amphilophus Citrinellus.

@Anubisscott

But do you think it's one of those colormophes or do you think it's more like a "Amphilophus hogaboomorum" (and how do you call a hogaboomorum)?

[n03lzz]

@FishTankFanatic:

My problem is always to find the most common english names. My sources on that are wikipedia, fishbase or google. The same applies to all of my videos, so if there are english fishkeepers that know more common names... let me know. Maybe seel1990 might be right with "barred midas".
