smidey Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 a wild guess from the pics i am 50% sure that 50% of it is a red zebra, what the other 50% is i am 100% unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 The "thrill of the chase " not withstanding I hope the result of the mbuna ID ends with the only resolution the current info on the fishes history would dictate I could suggest Kenyi in there as well As for yellow go still male on yr yellow. I've had male looking females like Smidey as well, except they lack the vividness of black, the amount of black in pectoral and anal, and dorsal was as pointed. tried to upload a cple shots of a boy and girl of mine. Has anyone had trouble uploading to photobucket lately- very slow for me. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 i'd go kenkii in there as well and male for the yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
