Joe Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi, Can we get these in New Zealand? Pair: http://www.cichlidsforum.fr/files/pelvi ... 2__162.jpg Male: http://www.cichlidsforum.fr/files/pelvi ... 3__171.jpg They are such awesome fish, and are much nicer than wild kribs and normal kribs. Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 They are almost identical to the Pelvicachromis taeniatus that I have been breeding/selling.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird73 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Are you bringing some of these up too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Look a lot like the P T nigerian red I had Good luck if you can get them anywhere except RJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Are you bringing some of these up too? There might be a pair or 2 spare when I am up there and settled get in touch Unfortunately my big male has just carked it so need to keep back some fry to get another male.. Pelvicachromis taeniatus are on the allowed import list so it is possible that all sorts of strains could make it into the country. I have had ids done on my ones by someone who knows his kribs (Ted Judy) and he has suggested mine are just what you would call "tank strain" so of no particular strain but still pure Pelvicachromis taeniatus.

Joe Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 They are almost identical to the Pelvicachromis taeniatus that I have been breeding/selling.. Could you post some photos please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Have posted tons of pics before but here they are.. Unfortunately this forum doesn't allow me to post them full size so click to make them bigger. I really need to get them into a nice planted tank and get some descent pics that do them justice. These ones are when they were younger. Unfortunately I lost this male who was one of the only ones I had with a red check stripe but have some fry growing out with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Wow that bottom picture of the male is awesome. He looks just as nice as the Dehane. I'll have to get some eventually. They are a really cool fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have a pair in my tank Joe (not the dehane, the mowgli - oops that is the moliwe :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 All of the males in these photos come from the moliwe strain which I have since had confirmed they are not moliwe anyway but still taeniatus none the same. How are they going for you Caryl? Glad to hear they survived all the issues your tank had recently.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 They are still going but not brightly coloured. No fry as far as I know but since I hardly see the female (she hides unless feeding) I have no idea if they have been spawning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have a pair in my tank Joe (not the dehane, the mowgli - oops that is the moliwe :lol: ) Yeah I know, because I'm always admiring them whenever I come to your place and see your fish They are really cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Joe I finally got some pics of one of the various red faced males I have, this guy is only small still so is yet to get all of his colour.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Mine look pretty flash as well. Not quite as colourful as the photo but not much different. I have 2 lots of fry growing with a total of about 35. I also have a spare male if you need him Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yeah they should all be looking similar I picked this guy out of around 30 males so hope he is pretty good.. Haven't been breeding mine though have other things to work on atm and think I have spread these guys pretty well so hopefully they will get out there for the future..
