Name That Fish

[longstocking]

lol .. they are stunning fish... don't pick on them !

 

[ltrepeter2000]

Some kind of Astrotilapia

 

[SubMariner]

Wow that's a cool looking fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummm, is it a clicktoviewfullimage sp. Pestocramus????

 

[longstocking]

Nope

I'll give you a hint. It's a recent discovery.

 

[cyradis4]

Tanganikan, um..... Ectodus something or other? My first edition Back to Nature for Tangs has something similarish looking called a Ectodus descampsii.... Nose is different, and so is the color of the spot...... But am I close??????

 

[longstocking]

it's close... but it's not in that book or for that matter any of his books. Like I said new discovery.

 

[SubMariner]

AHHHHHH is it a Ectodus descampsii neon African Tetra? I don't know! I just think this game is pretty cool

 

[Sonny Disposition]

Don't know, but when you find out, let me know. (I think I want one.)

Ok guys, NAME THAT FISH![/b]

 

[longstocking]

Ok....

it's a Xenotilapia nigrolabiata

Comes from the sand area's of lake tang ! Gets to be 4 inches and is a mouth brooder. Peacefull cichild


Want more info? look it up lol

Actually I've wanted this fish for a while. Been in the hobby a couple of years now. VERY expensive fish. Wilds run over a hundred dollars as they come from deeper parts of the lake. Tr usually around 40 to 60 dollars.

Someone that hasn't gotten to pick yet go

 

[Sonny Disposition]

$100 per fish is too steep for me. I'll wait until you get some and breed it and bring them to the auction.

lol I really doubt I would bring them to the auction for some odd reason Although I am thinking about picking up some F1 to breed.

 

[SubMariner]

Ok guys...one more Name that fish for the weekend plus a bonus fishy.

Alright NAME THAT FISH!!!

 

[cyradis4]

Is the first Aulonocara Stuartgranti Hongi Island?

And I KNOW I"ve seen the second around here (these blasted books) somewhere, but I can't find out where right now......

Amanda.

 

[SubMariner]

That was lightning fast Amanda!!!!!!!!

Yes, you are correct! It is a Aulonocara stuartgranti steveni Hongi Island alright.

What about the bonus fishy??? I think I gotcha on that one. heheeeeheee

 

[cyradis4]

Is it Protomelas sp. Steveni Imperial?

Later!
Amanda.

PS: Ad Konings has a WONDERFUL pic of the first fish in Back to Nature: 1 edition, page 66.

 

[SubMariner]

Nope! Try again

Where's your dad the Mad Scientist??? Naaa, you don't need his help. LOL!!!

To play this game, I think you should use your own fish pictures.

Btw, either mine is mislabled, or these two look very similar. :confused0083:

Bobby, Now you've got me going back to each of the pics in this thread to find the other pic of your fish. Is there a symbol?

I don't have any of my "own fish pictures" yet. For that matter I don't have a camera that will take aquarium pics.
Can I still play?
Later,
Marge

 

[cyradis4]

The difference is in the stripes I think. The pic I have of the fish Richard showed also has strong black barring, while yours has far less pronounced black barring.

Later!
Amanda.

Hongi Island and Usisya are directly across from each other in the lake. It is quite possible that they would develop near identical appearance. My guess is that they are basically the same fish (with only slight differences), just collected from different locations.
