Just in case I posted this to the wrong thread I'll repost here...

Anyone have an opinion on this? They're breeding and I don't know what they are.

I'm thinking they are either of these, but I don't know, could be something else...

What size are these fish? Caxarari only goes to one inch.
What about Macrospilus?

Could be.

Good catch :bow2: I was so caught up in stripes, pattern and blotches, that I didn't even notice the size. :doh: They are close to 1.5 inches. SO, caxarari is out, macrospilus is in the running.
