Midas Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Does anyone know the owners of the Pike cichlid (female Crenicichla lepidota?) and the Blue-eyed cichlid that were at the fish show? Just curious to see where/ how they got hold of them from (especially the Pike cichlid - cool looking fish - see photo below). i.e. this fish: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I had that blu-eye Midas I got it's parents I think, from Frans, when he was importing from down at Tokoroa, the Hamilton club did a trip down there. Maybe Dave or Rob could fill you in on how long ago that was. That other one or that species came in the same shipment. I actually thought they were illegal imports. ??? I am looking for a male by the way. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropheus Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Blue Peacock???? Dont you mean Copadichromis Borleyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I actually thought they were illegal imports. ??? I am looking for a male by the way. Last time I looked on the fish list there was a Crenicichla species of some sort on the allowable list. I'll have to have another look. Given that your're looking for a male, I guess you've only got the one? Would be cool if we could get some more of these in the country.

Rob Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Blue Peacock??? :-? Who said anything about Blue Peacock? Yes, the fish are Copadichromis borleyi 'red fin' or Kadango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Yes Midas, just got the female blue-eye I lost the whole shooting box, Mum, Dad, and all but one of the kids in a heater malfunction; over-heating. Wouldn't have been so bad if it was convicts, I know that they look the same, but the price is dramatically different, possibly the reason why they haven't been imported since the initial arrival. The differnce? $7.00 for Convicts. Blue-eyes? Over $40. These prices were seen at Hollywood Mt Roskil, I bought mine half-price from a wholesaler.

Midas Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Sorry Alan can't help you with finding a male Blue-eye. So no one knows who owns the Crenicichla lepidota above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
