Let me see if I can list them all lol
I have kept a few variants, lucky in 2004. The LFS I worked at was well connected in Back Door actions & Altos happened to be coming in.
White "Chaitika",(There is talk now, that some of these are hybrids, a lot of "grey" ones around.
Black(old skool, no variant or location name) Can't believe I don't have a pic of one.
Congo Black Pearl Calvus.
We have "Yellow Calvus" floating around, but they are hydrids. I bought 2 to prove a point, as you can guess. That debate got heated over here :lol: As you can see, they both are different looking & show a lot of Compressiceps shape. Main fish in both shots.
Comp wise, Standard,(Old skool, no variant or location name)
Gold Heads"Mutondwe",(pic in earlier post) there is I believe another Gold Head, different yellow in head & doesn't get blue lips.
Red/Fire Fins, believe "Kigoma"
Male
Female
She laid in that
Sumbu, little dwarf alto. (little compressiceps in first pic) & here
Mixed group growing up
Joys of barnacle shells, you can see the eggs, fry..
White Calvus fry at 2 months old
Yes, slow growers
May be more variants around now, but I haven't really kept on top of it over last few years.
