ryanjury Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I can tell the difference between fryeri and red shoulder females the fryeri are longer and shaped differently.. but if you cant already tell the difference probably better not to mix them..

Afrikan Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yeap as Ryan said, will pay to part them when you can as they will happily cross breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 help for the african beginner, what latin name is a red shoulder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Aulonocara hansbaenschi - Red Shoulder Peacock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Aulonocara hansbaenschi - Red Shoulder Peacock thanks afrikan. my bible at the moment is the species register on the cichlid forum. I found Aulonocara baenschi but no Aulonocara hansbaenschi. is this just cause the register isn't totally up to date or some other reason? http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/r ... p?genus=17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 or is it one of these? Aulonocara stuartgranti (Chiloelo) Common Name(s): Aulonocara hansbaenschi, Red Shoulder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 The Red Shouldered being listed to the right of the profiles page, hit that and it links up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 it is as afrikan stated. for a african newbie like me it is very confusing as this appears to have a sceintific latin name & a common latin name which are different. maybe i need to learn latin to understand..... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hmm if I remember rightly a while back there was a discussion on a site I saw somewhere... something in regards to the change of name... something is ringing a bell but maybe Frenchy or someone else might have more of a memory than I have?? I could be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
