YeW Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi Guys -I noticed some longer-than-normal-for-a-zebra ventral fins on a cobalt blue at a friends place yesterday.Can someone tell me if this species does indeed have longer ventral fins than other "zebra" types?

anchar Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi YeW, I had a colony of 16 and have just referred to some photos of them. As far as I can tell the finnage is comparable with others classed in the "zebra" group.Was it just the one cobalt or were there others that exhibited this?merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 The fish are mine. They came from a reputable breeder, and it is just the males which display the longer fins.I keep a few other zebra species and they do not have these long fins. Can anyone shed some light please?

E4G13M4N Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I have a couple of cobalt males at work and they seem to have the longer ventral fins,they also have 4-5 egg spots where i have usually only seen 3 on the others i have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zam Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I have a colony of around 20 cobalts and the males (mainly the more dominant ones) do seem to have quite large and long ventral fins compared to to other zebras I have kept.Others I have kept are puulu points, saulosi, and lombardoi.The females in the colony seem to have "normal" length ventral finnage.I dont thinkit is anything to worry about.CheersZam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rol&Jas Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I have kept lots of different zebras during my fish keeping, but the cobalt blues have the longest ventral fins compared to other zebras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
