The story behind the mystery fish.....
A friend of mine bought a 55 gallon off craigs list to use as new home for her lizzard. When we went to pick it up the couple who sold it told me that they had a box of misc. stuff and 4 fish that I could have, and since free fish stuff stuff fits right into my budget, I said sure! I got some plants, a small piece of drift wood, 2 powerheads, an air pump, a battery operated gravel vac, and a small HOB walmart filter.
The 4 fish were a skinny and a little beat up but its hard for me to say no to free fish. I new 1 was a flowerhorn but the 3 ubove I have no clue.

A pic of the flowerhorn hangin with Mr & Mrs Black Belt.

This is an updated pic of the TSN x RTC. Just thought I'd post this here so you all could see how its doing.

I'll Take a stab at it...

Pic #1 is a Hyposphrys Nicaraguensis

Pic #2 is a Aulonocara sp. Stuartgranti Maleri (Sunshine Peacock)

Pic #3 is a Haplochromines (Hap) looks like a female or a juvi Sciaenochromis possible ahli but not 100%.

The rest of the fish look nice they should color up a lot in better conditions. The TSN x RTC looks good.

I'm not sure about 2 or 3 but I agree with one being a Hypsophrys nicaraguensis.

The FH should color and heal up nice and fast with you taking care of it. I'm not familiar with how sturdy the black belts are but keep an eye on them with the FH. My experience with them is that they give you about 15 minutes to move any fish they don't like in with them. Wink
