Hoddz Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hey all i had to leave work early to day to rescue some fish i was advised that they were a lombardoi, but the person who had them doesnt know much about cichlids. so i went to their house today and rescued some fish but when i got there this is what was in the tank have added photo's from every possible direction i could find and so now i need your professional help thank you... The fish when they were in the tank were irredecent blue with black bars some had dark black bars and some had faint ones.. also the two biggest of these fish had the blue sheen sort of but were more yellow orange in colour they are about 8-15 cm long and are gorgeous but the only conclusion i can come up with is Maylandia greshakei.. but not very certain... any help would be very much appreciated thank you... Jamie... I've removed the photos that are larger than the 600 limit (as in the rules) please repost them smaller if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 They look like poor quality lombardoi to me .. ... perhaps crosses even .... Need some clearer shots though when they have settled in before i make my final decision ... Dont look anything like Maylandia greshakei to me ...

mezzacam Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Personally they don't look like lombardoi to me... Their colour is just way to off... and their body shape just doesn't seem right to be lombardoi? Maybe i'm just paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just had another look at the pics and i can see a wide variation in colour .. So for now ive changed my mind to lombardoi cross something else ... ? Body shape looks lombardoi to me just the colours vary to much .....

calliurus Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Thats what I call a mixed bag of I don't know what, no way are they greshakei. Maurie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 probably "assorted zebras". I've seen them being sold at various "LFS"s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Some of them look a little like Ps. hajomaylandi BUT I think it's safest to assume "mixed zebras" (probably mixed beyond a steadfast and accurate ID). Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutts5 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 They are not Lombardi but are some sort of cross breed Can't see body shape of lombardi nor the colouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
