Wok Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 What a lovely fish. When can I lay my hands on a few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 As you know Wok. As soon as they are ready, the members of the NZKA will be able to get them for approx $5 from the breeders. I picked my first eggs from them yesterday. Aren't you glad that you joined NZKA?? It would cost you four times that amount in the LFS, and that's if they can get them of course.

Caryl Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Baensch Aquarium Atlas 1 ISBN 3-88244-050-3 Page 525 makes reference to Aphyosemion bitaeniatum (Syn. A multicolor) but only has a small pic and says it is often misrepresented as A bivittatum. Baensch Aquarium Atlas 2 ISBN 1-56465-114-2 Page 610 has Aphyosemion bitaeniatum, multicoloured lyretail (AHL 1924). Syn Fundolopanchax bivittatum (not LONNBERG), Aphyosemion bivittatum multicolor, A multicolor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 For the NZKA members it is. It is different than the ones we are breeding at the moment. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
