frankenstrat Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 i think, and i could be wrong, but the stuartgranti benga, has no, or minimal blue through the body and tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firthy13 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 i have never heard of a aulonocara stuartgranti benga. i know there is a aulonocara stuartgranti maleri island (commonly called yellow regal) which are similar to what you described frankenstrat.the only peacock that has the common name of benga is aulonocara baenschi. also following the name stuartgranti is usually the collection point. as far as i know benga is not a collection point. im also not aware of any aulonocara species that have been collected from candy island.i also could be completely wrong, but would love for someone to clear this up.

firthy13 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 thanks for confiming chris.Firthy is spot on (Ducksta will be upset now someone else is spot on) ill have to put that in my signature! hahai have notice a few peacocks going through the auction that were not correctly identified. people who put peacocks in the auction really need to have a 100% id on there fish and have the full name on the lot number.at the last major auction there were aulonocara jacobfreibergi "something" (cant remember collection point) going through i had never heard of before.

rosco Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sorry mate, Sandy got some of my fry and still has the colony running I believe, but mycolony unfortunately is long gone. They came from a great source Mr Peacock a long time ago.cheersrosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Awesome Nkhomo!Just to add to what Chris has posted above...There are two peacocks traded as Aulonocara "Kande Island" One is Aulonocara kandeensis, as Chris has stated (also called Blue Orchid). There is also a variant of A. stuartgranti found at Kande Island, which is one of the black-finned yellow stuartgranti types. Not the same, but reminiscent of stuartgranti "Usisya" (A. flavescens) and stuartgranti "Undu Reef" (Blue Neon).Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 LOL Andrew yepThey we A.steveni Kande Is. bred them manyyears ago when I had Mamelela and Rostratumsimilar to the Blue Neon but with a black dorsalwith white marginnearly brought some back from Melb but got theA. chitande type north sp.
