lickindip Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Im a breeder??? wow what did i tell you about putting other non-cichlids with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Do you mean Brichardi breeder madsaffa? I opened the pic link but the pic is showing up rather blurry onscreen.. so not overly detailed this end, does look melanochromis like (possible hybrid), but pic not really clear, looks to have rather alot of vertical banding too, is that right? Oh and yeeikes, definately not suitable for tank with corys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsaffa Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 thanks, yea i found out by losing one of my favoured albino's very bad day for me yea got it from brichardi dude, he doesnt know/ cant remember what it is yea pretty dark bands every now and then and yellow edges along both dorsal and tail fin very swift and paranoid fish, really hard to get good clear pic here's another i got http://s190.photobucket.com/albums/z169 ... ryfisk.jpg will try and get video of it thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Judging by the colour vertical banding and colour of the female in the back ground (if it is the same fish) I would say some sort of melanachromis hybrid, possibly one of the type brought in as johanni.. You really need to get a clearer pic for a definate id Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Definately looks like some sort of hybrid. You only have the one huh, the fish pictured behind is reflection? Was the fish bred here madsaffa or imported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 lol yeah could be a reflection :oops: I thought it looked like a female version of the pictured fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 For now I will just call a blue zebra{slang for blue not sure what it is mbuna}, as pic isn't clear. Either way it shouldn't have been placed with standard tropical fish. Agression differences, water ph etc.... What size tank etc come to mind too? Best bet if its a pain in the butt which cichlids can be. Try & return it, trade into a shop, get rid of other fish & go african cichlids or knock it on the head. Sorry they are really your only options. It will only kill others the way it is going. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lickindip Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 ohhhh yeaaaa people think im a breeder now if anyone does want any brichardi babies ive got a few now (less then 1cm tho) so will be ready in a while i have 2 of the fish above but the brichardi started breeding and got anal, the other one was more of a blue while this one that saffas got was the yellow, cost me around $20 each i think but probably got a better deal ... ahhhhh back in the days when i could get cheap cheap stuff from the pet store ay paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
