So C. Eques or something not even close?

Post by Supercorygirl »

So purchased these and finally stabilized them ( no more red blotch) but thinking these aren't C.Eques. The gentleman was told by his importer that they were wild caught from Columbia. Please help a gal out as I'm leaning towards melatonaenia but again never have dealt with wild caught before. Thanks in advance.

Not to sure what they are. Here are some photos of C.eques that I imported from Brazil.

I agree with melatonaenia, but I'm no expert. They look a lot like the melatonaenia I have.

Thanks everyone, thought they were. Already have melatonaenia but mine are fully coloured, these are probably still stressed from disease/transport as they aren't as colourful as mine.
