herefishiefishie Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pets-animals/Fish/Fish/auction-90653848.htm Good to see some one tried to inform Shame about the result :roll: Someone should link him to the cichlid forum. Adding the person who made the fryeri comment is right, ahli so rare, only a handful exist in USA, non in Aussie & ahli are dull too. Not your fault mate, just importers & wholesalers stuff up, wrongly named, quite common. I am not a member. Had somene point it out to me.

caserole Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 His fish are not Ahli as they are not quit correct and too colourful ( I have seen them ), he did buy them as imported Ahli. But they are not fryeri either from what I can compare them to. But they are very thin like ahli and are shallow through the gut, probably the closet to Ahli that we have here in that respect. They are very nice fish and is only selling them as purchased from a reputable shop. So I hope others don't go hard on him. Frenchy, the pic's I pm'ed you with are the breeders.

Afrikan Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have seen the ones that have been imported as ahli haps.. bit suss looking in my opinion, some were bought through where my hubby works. Wished I had of taken pics of them now.. they almost looked like they had O. lithobates in them, due to the markings on the body.. up by the dorsal area and body spots... actually very similar or almost exactly like that female shown in auction pic..

Freakyfish Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 They are not Ahli simply cos they were imported under that name doesnt mean they are that The fish shown in the pic S.Fryeri not S.Ahli Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 In this case there is a big difference between what he bought them as & what they really are. He is only selling them under the name of which he bought them as. I really don't think some people know how rare ahli are. Funny when you google ahli, most are wrong. As I said, importers are very slack on this one. I dare someone to put his pick up on an USA forum, ie; cichlid forum. I bet you can't prove me wrong. :lol: Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Banaro, there are many people out there that share the same interest in learning and have the same knowledge Back to the import of "Ahli Haps", these fish that came in didn't have clean bodies either.. Aren't ahli and fryeri both clean in body? I notice in the pic, the female has very similar markings to my O. lithobates markings? The ones that came into my hubbys shop also had the same markings.. about 3 spots on body and spotted up around dorsal area also... so what would it be in this case?

Tropheus Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi since it was drumed into my head about Ahlis & S.fryeri I just couldnt resist advising the seller. I seem to hate the word Ahli now :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Funny thing is the ahli are the uglier ones of the two too. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
