Puntius denisonii Red-line Torpedo Barb

hmmm. it looks like it may have some keyhole cichlid blood in it too

So the parents were hybids with mixed genetics then.

Thats like saying aulonocara sp. stuartgranti maleri red is the same as Aulonocara stuartgranti (Cobue) but just a different colour or golden bristlenose catfish are the same as brown bristlenose catfish and the difference is probably a sex thing. A rather naive assumption IMO

Does it look similar to this ? If so its a long finned peppered cory which are relatively common these days.

I am not trying to cause an argument either but I wouldn't class a strain as pure after only two generations and i certainly wouldn't use the word "resembling" in my definition. eg I could cross two separate species of Aulonocara and get all the offspring to "resemble the parents" but they would be far from a "pure strain"

Not even close and thats why is so hard to get "pure strains" of fish in NZ

Yup, it dyed very quickly :lol:

Flourish excel makes BBA purdy

I use pipi and oyster shells in my sumps and canister filters. In some tanks I have crushed shells mixed with the substrate. If you have concrete water tanks you probably wont need to add anything.

I could probably spare 1 Nymphoides indica and 1 Eleocharis dulcis although its in my outside pond so is dormant at this time of year. Limnophila aromatica I used to have but dont any longer try P44 Hygrophila angustifolia http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/f ... 641250.htm
