aymenz Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 hi fishinf, To me it looks like it is a Burtoni which is also a victorian cichlid, I once was sold one under Xmas Fulu from a LFS as well... Lithoman has a beautiful xmas fulu male which can be used as an example if he doesn't mind Did it have the xmas fulu coloration when you bough it at the Auction, did you check it, or you just heard the name and bidded on it? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinf Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 hi you can see it is a xmax in person he looked the same in the bag at the auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 He looks just like my sub dom male. and the top pic is the same as my dom male. I would say you have a fulu there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couchy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 95% sure it is Fulu. my sub dom males look like that also.If he won't colour well in his own tank he may not be worth breeding (my opinion)Fish show their colour to show they are the best quality fish to breed with, thats how they attract females.My opinion is if they don't show great colour they may not be worth breeding. MANY WILL DISAGREE.he is a staright good looking fish all the same, may just need a smaller male or dither fish to stir him into showing.Cheers Couchy.
