mcsx Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 well as u can tell visibaly there is no difference there is some difference between them is the genes or something they were once probably the same fish just they split to 2 different locations in the lake and something triggered something in the anatomy of the fish? thats my guess lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilroy Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I know they are different collection points, but I think they are pretty much still the same fish. Some say Kasanga's are much nicer, others say the same about Kambwimbe. If you look at some of Gerry's (Northshore on other Tropheus forums), you won't see any nicer rainbows than his Kasangas. His Chaitika blue rainbows are probably even nicer. Word of warning though, if you do get hold of them, they are notoriously lousy breeders and mothers compared to other Trophs. Some people may have colonies that are the exception, but you will find a lot of posts that support my statement. good luck, they are out there, just depends on how much you are prepared to pay. I think most LFS can now get them through Bayfish, but you will pay top dollar without any guarantee on the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrdog Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 There aren't many around, I reckon your best bet is to get some imported. There is an EOI thread in the classifieds about a shipment of fish from the lake. Check it out I reckon. If it goes ahead, you will probably be able to get what you're after. Good luck, Jamie.
