sticks Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I recently purchased some flame backs labeled (H.Nyererei Igombe) from a local aquarium. I have read that there are a number of different forms of flame backs, are there other forms available in AUST. and is Igombe valid.

Ged Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Haplochromis nyererei "Ikombe Island" is a valid geographical variant. It will also be listed as Pundamilia nyererei on some websites depending which school of thought they adhere to. I prefer to use the later. As to what other geographical variants that are available I am uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi - as Ged says P. nyererei does indeed come from "Igombe Island". Fishbase lists the current genus as Pundamilia (reference below).
