catalyst Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I have been looking for a Pseudotropheus saulosi Female to increase my colony and the only one I can find here in SA is more orange than what I already have and is also laeger than what I have.She looks the same colour as all the photo's on the Web but mine that I got from Seay are closer in colour to my L. caeruleus.Would it be a Pseudotropheus saulosi?

Josh Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 :^: i have seen some orange one's come through the NSWCS mini auction from time to time. mine have an orange tinge to them but i would not call it orange more bright yellow, if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Camel Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Ps. saulosi females can tend towards an orange colouration, particularly if they've been raised on 'colour enhanced' food. As the last (*edit: second last*) post mentioned though, grab a photo and lets take a look at her!cheersVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangalicious Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 catalyst.I can assure you 100% that they're Ps. saulosi I got them from Andy aka Hypderdive so you're questioning his quality of fish :D Colour may also vary with the foods that you feed your fish. I have been feeding my fish soley spirulina for the past 4 months. Tetra bits will definately brighten the colour up however I dont think spirulina will do that. Im no expert in foods and colourations.Someone else can help me here in that department.Seay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalyst Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Ok here is a Photo I hope that it worksBTW I am not questioning Seay. I am not sure about the LFS one.Sorry if I caused any confusion Seay.Pic link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Camel Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 she looks fine to me! Would not be surprised though if the odd tetra colour bit had passed by her lips in the past. Seay, i am of course talking about the LFS fish and not your's.cheersVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangalicious Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Oh my mistake. :oops:Im sorry I misinterpreted your post. Sorry. Anyways here is a link of where I have uploaded some pictures of my females.http://community.webshots.com/user/seaytaingThey're temporarily housed with my maswas (noving into my 6x2x2.5 soon), which is why I have been soley feeding them spirulina. Was a bit of a risk because I wasnt sure on how the saulosi males would react however no casualties and no fights. Tropheus do their own thing and the saulosi do the jiggly thang :lol: Seay :w: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangalicious Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I cant see the pic sorry I cut'n'pasted the link and now it works.She looks like a saulosi to me also. The light banding occurs whenever my females are stressed out, they appear more-so when they're holding. Or unless trying to show dominancy.

Vicious Camel Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 They can also get a slightly dirty appearance to them as well. You'll notice it more if you get and overabundance of males in your colony. You all have nice fish judging by the snaps. Also, saulosi and maswa! i know some purists out there wont like it but they'd look great together in a display tank.cheersjf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
