soph.88 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi received this fish from an acquaintance and not sure what it is so I can find more like them to buy.Could someone please ID it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looks like a Haplochromis sp 44 "thickskin"But the Hap.brownae and the........Hap.flameback "nyeri, destroyed pure genetic line now called Australian flameback strain", have all been crossed with one another thus never garranteeing and unlikeliness of purity.So if you hunt down all three mentioned you will see many that resemble what you have.With these Hap species the only guarantee is through reputable trustworthy breeders and suppliers.Never breed and pass out fry on a guess of what they are as it only makes the problem worse.

LithoMan Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 If you like the look of it Then you need to spoil yourself with more Victorians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckmeister Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looks like a Haplochromis sp 44 "thickskin"Have they or are they in australia?I do agree on the victorian problem.To me it looks like a sub flameback or some varient (badline or hybrid),Years ago you could walk into any shop and they would have tons of them that no one wanted. They can be agressive, bossy and will breed with just anything that it can breed with.I have had some nice Nyerere in the past. Pics dont really do the fish justice but its all I have of him now.sporting a frown.... loledit - spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
