So the parents were hybids with mixed genetics then.

red rams are just brown rams that are red, never asked why, probably a sex thing, or else they might be blushing :oops:
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 define pure strain as selective breeding resulting in all offspring resembling the parents and or grandparents
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

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

My wife is known as the "Fishwife" in our household
This from wikipedia
Fish women were notoriously loud and foul-mouthed as in the expression, To swear like a fishwife. One reason for their outspokenness is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly.[4] -

I recently got NLS and some 5 foot florescent T5HO tubes from kensfish. It was well packed and everything arrived in one piece

I will drop some off tomorrow with the fish

I have a few different Nepenthes species that I am hoping will flower this spring/summer
If they do I will save you some seeds

They are good mates and often hang out together.
Here's another pic

Not the best photo but the gold nugget is 13-14cm

Yesterday I purchased some copper fish bling for above the 8 footer.
Now I am debating if I should highlight them with 1 or 2 spotlights or if that will deflect too much attention from the tank.
Who else has fish bling?
Show us ya bling

Hot damn thats a good sized L14 KP!! Would love to see an in-tank pic of it looking nice and unstressed. Any idea how old, how long have you had it?
I purchased it as a fingerling from Animal Antics in Tauranga when I was there for a work seminar in November 2008.
I will try for an in tank photo but I don't see it out very often now that its older.
