phoenix44 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 ah. is this the fish that caused all the confusion? the one that was meant to be "Astatotilapia calliptera" (I just looked it up on cichlid forum) but isnt... but has to be cause someone said it had to be? I am very confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 lol Cheers for that livingart it cracked me up, was actually on the phone to Nav and he mentioned it I thought you might have been having a wee dig.. lol Phoenix you summarised it very nicely, only Asti C. because someone said it was, nothing else about the random fish were like them, buyer beware I guess as they are still being sold around the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Should send that photo back to the one you bought of Ryan. Love to see an expert choke on his words. Brad{sidekick} wants a better photo of the first pic. I am currently at his shop. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad{sidekick} wants a better photo of the first pic. I am currently at his shop. Frenchy Things are sorted with the guy I got the fish off Its the original breeder and others who are still breeding them with their heads stuck in the sand, but not much you can do about that.. lol Frenchy you are lucky to have a sidekick who owns a shop Were you talking about the first pic of the thread? I don't know if anyone else sees it but it looks a little off to me? I think it might be because of that reflection making the fish look slightly the wrong shape or if it is just me..

herefishiefishie Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I used to manage one, that count. I was in the game b4 Brad too that count. You should hear him in the background :roll: whose sidekick?!?!?! Mumble, mumble, mumble :lol: Yeh, first pic. I thought it looked odd. So now its the original breeder that has his head stuck up his, umm buried in the ground. Tosser!!! :evil: Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silva Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 so it is a blue dolphin then? just asking as i have been offered the fry and some electric yellow fry for my new tank. Have no experience with cichlids though, i may have to start reading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 It is hard to tell what the fish is from the first pic, I had assumed blue dolphin but looks slightly off, can we get more pics of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
