Hi,

I really would like learn the morph of my P. taeniatus pair. Any comments are appreciated!
First the male

Hey guys, I suggested to this person that he bring this question over here from another forum. I thought someone here could verify or refute the answers I gave over there. He also had pictures of the offspring from this pair.

I am not posting the opinion I gave over there because I don't want to point in a particular direction. I'm going to PM a couple of guys to see if we can get some comments.

Thanx for the explanation Chromedome, I think your comments were probably accurate but I am still interested in hearing a second thought like you suggested. I want to learn how to tell color morphs apart without looking at the possible offspring, that's why I kept pics of the offspring for the moment. Do you think I should add them?

This isn't my area of expertise, so I won't make a guess. Maybe this question would be best answered in the West African ID section. Also check Ted Judy's web site for photos of different populations of the Pv. taeniatus species-group. They might help.

While I cant specifically ID them for you, I can tell you that I have kept Moliwe and Lokoundje and the Lokoundje males were considerabley more colorful than the females, and with Moliwes the females have greater color.
