chopstick_mike Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 hi guys I'm curious to see if my hippo pt salmon is a hybrid as most the ones in Perth look like mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somefinfishy Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm no expert on these fish but could yours be a flameback cichlid as the same in this photo? it seems to show all the same makings and colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopstick_mike Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I've been told might be Xmas fulu but don't think pure lines are in aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Woah, settle down there, mine are in Perth obviously, and certainly look nothing like that,,, all that black marking over top of head bussines shouldn't be there,,,, that type yellow shouldn't exist,, faint flank markings wrong. A diagonal line through eye running into facial areas and horizontal single line through center of of flanks which come and go with mood,,,,, lime green not yellow are all hippo appearances. The pic your showing has a slight different body shape and dorsal fin incorrect looking. ive taken pics just now of mine on phone and sometimes takes a while to come across to the iPad,,, I'll try my luck later at hopefully getting some pics up,,,, if not work chopstick, you can send me your number via pm and I'll text the pics, and you can even post them hear to if you want....

Buccal Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yes I know what you meant,,, it's just the all hippos look like that in Perth you said,,, but mine don't look like that,,,, I knew hippos would suffer this issue fast,,, at least they are fairly distinguishable from the other haps to tell wether true or not...
