CThompson Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 edited by fins: split from this thread: http://www.aceforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=22455 Pics by David. Thanks Nigel, I would have missed the add too if it wasn't for your email to me as it was already on page two by this Monday morning. Bijengum, Do you have any photos of the parents please? I understand there has been some confusion as to this locality, and would like to see some shots of the adults before I commit myself. The locality I was after in fact was "Tanzia Gold" don't know if "Zambia Gold" is the same fish? My email address is crt@ansto.gov.au. Craig [edit] ps: Sorry for butchering your post Craig.

Nigel Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 For what it is worth Craig I have never seen either on a stock list from the catchers in Africa and I have stock lists from them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CThompson Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Dave, I'm interested, I have sent you a PM. Maybe we could track down their locality via whom you bought them from? Thanks for your reply Nigel. I don't think you did, but did you bring these fish in? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 They did come in a shipment I got from Tanzania so the answer is yes but I did not sell them to David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig ← Hi Craig, For what it's worth, perhaps you mean "Julidichromis Regani Kipili" These are regarded the brightess variant from Kipili Tanzania, also referred to as Kipili Gold... Here's a link for ya: http://www.bigskycichlids.com/Jregani_Kipili.htm Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CThompson Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks Marls, but not they were not the fish I saw. The fish I saw were predominately dark, with thin but bright gold lines between the dark ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Nigel - what locality would you put on these fish? I am glad you asked craig. I think these where the ones from Caramba thanks Nigel.

Nigel Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 We are still working on it Rosco they may be from Mboko. As soon as I work it out I will let you and Craig know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rol&Jas Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Sorry Guys for butting in, but if I'm not wrong this regani is the J. regani "Bijumburu". See Julidochromis I also breed these julies. They are very pretty, good breeders (unlike the Kipilis ) and very good parents. Apparently they turned up at Riverside Aquariums first and were sold as J. regani "Bijumburu". I attached my pictures: Roland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 It looks like the ones they call Zambia gold are from Sumbu. I am sure the ones David has got are not from there I am reasonably sure they are from Mboko. I hope this has helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the tail in the photos David posted, and you will see a distinguishing feature is that there are stripes that run in the opposite direction to that of the stripes in the tail. David's fish also seem to have broader black lines. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rol&Jas Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Craig, I took another picture of my regani where you can see the tail, unfortunately the picture is not that good. I see no difference between the striping and the tail whatsoever. I think the only way to tell whether or not they are different if we put the fishes side by side. Cheers, Roland p.s. I think we should be in the General Cichlid Discussion section now:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
