Tropheus Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 hi To me it looks to elongated and the nose seems to long like a Ahli. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 sweet yeah the photo isn't quite side on I took it downwards at an angle to cut down on glare so its nose does look a bit bad in the pic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutOfAfrica Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have breeding "Kadangos" for sale if you are keen. $130 for the four - 1x Male, 3x female. These are the real deal. The male is in the pic "ChCh room closing down" OOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yeah those ones look awesome and the male pictured looks nothing like my one so I guess my one is another of those "kadango's" floating around the place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Seeing the name Ahli.. I wasn't aware that we have the TRUE Ahli in NZ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Its not an ahli. A better pic would be better. They are not in NZ too. Where do people get that idea from. Ahli are very expensive & very rare. They are very hard to get of in USA let alone NZ or Aussie. I know the wholesalers in asia sell them as ahli, but the are wrong. A note for moderators too. If anyone here sells any electric blues as such delete please. It is selling an uncorrectly named fish. Causes confusion as people sell some as fryeri.

Tropheus Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 OH :oops: Sorry old habits Lets try again It looks like a cross of some sort (hybrid) between Kadango and Sciaenochromis fryeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I would like to see a better pic too. as in more side on. I don't like to comment as its hit & miss. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 A note for moderators too. If anyone here sells any electric blues as such delete please. It is selling an uncorrectly named fish. Causes confusion as people sell some as fryeri. Frenchy What should they be named? Personally, I'd like to see the scientific name used, and if not sure, a knowledgably person like yourself can ID them thru a photo. Also if the FNZAS Breeding Coordinator sees these come thru in reports can question the naming of them. Thanks for your efforts Frenchy.

Afrikan Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Wouldn't it be awesome if the "Ahli" did make it here, however I am sure the price would be hideously expensive and deservedly so considering how RARE they are... We have Sciaenochromis fryeri here and that's all I have seen so far. Oh and not long ago some... (common name once again) ... "Electric Blue Haps" came in, definately not Fryeri, they have the spots on the body and more of a blunt face. Might nip out to Hastings and get a couple of pics for ya Frenchy.

herefishiefishie Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Electric Blues do not have spots. Someone over there needs a wooden spoon. If they look like Electric Blues, then they would of been crossed with lithobates more than likely. Has happened over here too. The problem is also in some cases. People look at the fish & go they look more like these & call them that. It's a problem with cichlids world wide. It's either a poor specimen, cross breed.... Also Alan, as Mekhaela said.

Afrikan Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yeap it's only recently this lot came in to Frenchy, will see if I can get you a good pic of one or two.. definately have spots... they definately came in as Electric Blue Haps to... :-? :-? So with what you have said, seems like the suppliers have been diddled by the exporter :-? :roll: Then a month or so down the track fryeri came in, fryeri being more or less double the wholesale price.. and they are definately fryeri, so seems you get the good with the bad in imports :-?
