Nannacara

[Joost S]

Someone posted the picture below in a Dutch forum stating this is a N. anomola. But is it? I also recognize something of the N.adoketa, which it is not either. Somebody any idea?

IMHO it's N. anomala- I'm sure that this fish is NOT I. adoketa.

I know it is not N.adoketa. But I for N.anomola I expect an equal blueish teint, but no a red lining to the tail and fins or the black markings.

I own a Czech strain of N. anomala, and they definitely have a red fringe along the dorsal. As a matter of fact, my males have quite a bit of red in the caudal fin as well. I feed my fish krill regularly, so perhaps the increased amount of red is due to diet, but this species can have some red in the fins.

Thanks for your help and clarification.

A hybrid? New colour morph? Dominant male of my group has more blue to his body when displaying. I haven't noticed any red.

Yours are just a color morph. I have seen N. anomala males with red/orange, blue, green, and black pigment dominant in to dorsal fin.
