noxious_nasties Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Second one looks like some form of nimbochromis to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern1 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 pic 1 is a Copadichromis borleyi (Kadango) pic 2 is a Nimbochromis livingstonii the only problem is that white crest i think that may be a sign that the fish has been fed white crain dont quote me on that though - where did you get this fish from??

kasm Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Can it be a Nimbochromis polystigma male? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Neither livingstoni or polystigma... That fish is Nimbochromis (AKA Tyrannochromis) fuscotaeniatus... And a very nice example thereof. First fish is for sure C. borleyi "Kadango". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riversideaquari Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 my friend gave these fish even he doesnt know what they are im sure someone on here knows http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz150/M...SH/Image005.jpg http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz150/M...SH/Image020.jpg Dear Sir, The first appears to be a Copadichromis borleyi probably Katango, and the second one is a male Nimbochromis livingstoni, I believe, regards Norm Halliwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 first is Copodochromis and as the other's think kooks Kadango second is ? only Tyrannochromis fuscotaeniatus has the white blaze neither Polystigma or Livingstoni develop this but body shape seems too deep for fuscotaeniatus Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin4 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Sure the 2nd is not a cross? As Chris says never seen a Poly or Livingstoni with a white blaze like this fish? T fusco I didnot think had that body pattern or shape? Could be wrong for the 2nd time today, Hey Andrew. I can see your been biding your time Dave, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnytw Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Borleyi and Fusco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hey Dobbin, yeah, ya could be... lol But all good! T. (or N.) fuscotaeniatus does have that shape, colour and pattern. If you google the species, you will see many examples that look exactly like that fish. As Chris mentioned, it does look a bit stout in that photo, but I think that's more the camera angle than the shape of the fish. It does not look like a hybrid and seems to me to be a perfectly good example of its species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
