I have no plan for inbreeding now for the F1 fish. But they do need luck to grow up since I will always leave home for more than one week for business trips, and nobody will help me for taking care the aquarium tanks. Tks.
Wild caught western Africa dwarf cichlids are not popular in Taiwan, especially the less colorful P. roloffi. It doesn’t has the strong body color and beautiful tail fin as other male Pelvicachromis fish, and the female shows only lighter red purple belly even before spawning. Normally, a light...
thanks gerald, greatly appreciated for your help on the related link and article.
i am now downloading the paper of Roberts et al. for studying. i also believe the male fish is splendens.
while the female is parilus or not, i am still not sure because it's different from those other females in...
Hi, i am a dwarf cichlid fans from Taiwan,
i just picked one fish from several female Nanochromis parilus, but i am not sure if it's splendens or teugelsi.
I need help to identify this male Nanochromis, many thanks.
Tks Mike, i can fully understand your concern.
in the beginning, when i am checking the specimen photo of A. lineata in Lasso's report, i thought it might be A. sp. iniridae(with throat stains).
the following are the fishes in my tank, and the last one is A. flabellicauda?
A. sp. iniridae...
yes Frank, i have found the photos in website by W.Staeck.
his A. flabellicauda is very similar to my A.uaupesi, so i also doubt about if it's true flabellicauda or not.
and the caudal fin shape of Staeck's A.lineata is lyrate, seems not in compliance with the description.
thaks Mike
this fish was not wild caught, but bred by a south eastern asia farm with name "A.Blutkehl" at about 5 years ago.
but it doesn't looks like A.Blutkehl as the photo of A157 in Datz book.
i would like to ask do you have any photo or related link of real A.lineata? many thanks for...
thanks Frank and Mike.
Hi Mike again,
i would like to show two other pictures, please help me to identify if they are A.lineata.
seems the caudal fin and the lower body stripes are very similar to the description in the paper.
the same fish at different stage.
thanks Frank. unfortunately, i don't have enough evidence to prove if this fish is A. brevis or not. all three photos show no caudal spot, but maybe just because of the display morph. i have no chance to check the spot under normal condition since it was in my tank at about three years ago.
and...
Hi Mike and all,
i am wondering if the following photo is A. megaptera or not.
and while checking the paper of Lasso, it said the caudal fin of A. lineata is rounded, am i wrong? because i used google to translate from Spanish to English.
