nice frenchy, do you guys have a big selection of comps and calvus across the ditch?

Let me see if I can list them all lol

I have kept a few variants, lucky in 2004. The LFS I worked at was well connected in Back Door actions & Altos happened to be coming in.

White "Chaitika",(There is talk now, that some of these are hybrids, a lot of "grey" ones around.

Black(old skool, no variant or location name) Can't believe I don't have a pic of one.

Congo Black Pearl Calvus.

We have "Yellow Calvus" floating around, but they are hydrids. I bought 2 to prove a point, as you can guess. That debate got heated over here :lol: As you can see, they both are different looking & show a lot of Compressiceps shape. Main fish in both shots.

Gold Heads"Mutondwe",(pic in earlier post) there is I believe another Gold Head, different yellow in head & doesn't get blue lips.

Red/Fire Fins, believe "Kigoma"

Yes, slow growers

May be more variants around now, but I haven't really kept on top of it over last few years.

Frenchy :)
