chorrylan Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 hi Col, The "bridle morph" refers to the black marking running horizontally from the gill to the tip of the mouth and (at right angles to this) across the top of the head providing a bridle (as in horsey bridle) appearance. Apparently that's where the name Chalinochromis name itself derives so until your post I didn't realise there were any without this marking. btw: I have sp. ndobhoi if you're looking for local specimens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on fishbase.org and found an explanation on colouration... I'm buying a house at the moment and have gone down to one tank - but when I move into the new house, and get back to keeping the wet pets, I'll give you a yell...
