firenzenz Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I obtained this pair as A.sp. hueseri. Am keen to see how this spawn breeds. I was guessing him a Stuartgranti variant at first, because of the prevailence of those varieties here, but less inclined to ID him in same group as Red shoulder, and Royal blue etc. This male is very solitary and shy, here he is in spawn mode.

ryanjury Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice looking fish good shape and all kinda remind me of the chilumba's.. May I ask where you managed to get them from? Oh and how was your chilumba breeding program going? Good to see new fish being restored in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 These guys from Alex who got from Chch so they should! be something. The colouration is way less intense the chilumba, and this female is very different also. I must admit I thought they were another stuartgranti when I first opened box, but I hope soon to have more of them to gauge that better. Here is a quick link. http://www.cichlidforum.com/profiles/species.php?id=638 Chilumba's are good- 2 spawns( should have more but tankspace hard to come by at moment.) are both growing very clean and true. Some have gone to Wgtn to get some numbers going down that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Chilumba's Adults and juvi's as comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 where did the hueseri come from ? were they imported as them, theres so many blue Aulonocara's getting named as all sorts of things at the moment there all very dogy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Did you actually read the threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yeah I looked up the profile before posting to have a look see They just reminded me of chilumba the way they are colouring up but obvious differences especially the females.. Glad chilumbas are going well and have been spread around might have to get some when you do eventually advertise them.. They do look good as long as none have popped out random shapes. Aprof, I don't think that Alex or firenzenz would be gullible enough to jump on any of those "blue peacock" wild goose chases, if Alex got them from wherever he did then they must be a good source I know he doesn't go for anything that could be dodgy..
