ryanjury Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Unsure ill start it off with (very likely wrong) male kenyi, maybe cross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiden Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Everyone is on the same lines as me so far but I have a little itsy bitsy scrap of something hoping that it is something else and not a cross. The shop wasn't selling it as one! (a kenyi that is) I'll try and get some photos when the tank light is on during the day. Anyone else got some stabs?

ryanjury Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 did you get it from pet city? They had a heap of kenyi they were selling as zebras and so did jansens silverdale I talked to one of the guys out there and it turns out thats what they were imported and sold them them as... And they didn't want a bar of me telling them they definately weren't zebras.. He even mentioned the weird zebras they got in that were changing colours from blue to yellow.

Tiden Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ohhhh yeah that's right she told me that there was a whole bunch of crossed zebra in their to cause someone stuffed up and they all went in the same tank and breed. But she said not the bumblebee?! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Sounds like they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. Someone should tell these lfs people that cichlids are up there when it comes to types of fish kept in aquariums world wide. If they can't get there act together, people will just keep dealing with private dealers or the dedicated shops, & they will miss out on alot of $$$ :lol: Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandWilly Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I would say its closest to a kenyi, but it just doesn't look right, We have 2 male's in our tank and ones already fully orange/yellow and the other ones in the middle and your one just doesnt look right sorry. Its diffinitly not a bumble bee, we have a breeding ppair so if your after any let us know lol got 79 fry from one mouth full yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm a 100% sure it isn't a crabro. Put some photos up again in another month, hopefully by then the fish is completely yellow, be a bit bigger to so easier to photo & Id.

Tropheus Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yet again we have dick heads in the hobby that just dont have a idea. Why they just dont stick to knitting i dont know. Might even look like a bit of C.Afra in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well it started with the lfs not knowing. :roll: As the picture isnt the best we are only giving ideas. I am not 100%, thanks for your input Might even look like a bit of C.Afra in itlooks like you have no idea either. {jok} Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
