Sophia Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have got a male and female of these that I've put in a breeding tank. I think they are gold variety because most of the time the male is essentially yellow with spots. The female is a lovely shade of lemon. Just wondering is there an easy way to know for sure that they aren't gardneri blue? At times and in some light the male does have shades of pale blue or green in his top scales, almost like a scheeli but nowhere near as bright. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 That's because the majority do not have killifish but still look to see what you are asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 A bit confusing. Are you talking about Fundulopanchax gardneri yelllow compared to F. gardneri gardneri or F. nigerianus gold compared to blue aquarium strain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 bah, I don't know, they look alike to me the male is sick, have just posted some photos in the disease forum, that might help identify him :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Write on the back of your hand: Fundulopanchax nigerianus (gold) but unfortunately dead. Gardneri yellow has blue but more yellow than the blue (which has a little bit of yellow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
