New Polys

[Dr.B]

Just got some new ones. They are acclimating as I type. I'll post some pics later of them in the tank, but what's the fun if there's no guessing. Only hint is they are both lower jaws, and that there was a thread a few months back about trying to distinguish the two.

Guess congicus and lap????

 

[Dr.B]

First one no, second one kinda sorta

 

[mikehagan]

[Askaleymanfish]

Ima guess farana and Dabola as well

 

[Dr.B]

What I got was an .sp Dabola and endlicheri sp. dabola. From toyin himself. I'll get some pictures up later they're still settling in. I'll also post up a little more on the differences and what he told me the differences were when I post the pics of.

Awesome grabs dr b!! Definitely keep us posted.

I'm curious to see how the endli sp Dabola will turn out.

 

[Dr.B]

a few in tank pics from last night when I put them in. I'll update when they settle in.

 

[Dr.B]

What toyin told me is that the endlicheri sp. dabola is an endlicheri caught from the tinkisso river in Dabola, and the Sp. Dabola is a lapradei type caught from the same area. The Sp. Dabola pattern wise looks like a perfect mix between endlicheri and lapradei while having a somewhat lap type head shape (however it still looks a little different to me for reasons I still can't quite justify). The Endlicheri maintains endlicheri type patternation as well as an endli head, however it's head shape still seems different to me as well. I think it's flatter, but will have to have a few more nights until I can put all the differences together. I have high hopes for the Sp. Dabola as if it settles in could look very nice, and also think that the endlicheri Sp. Dabola will look very nice as well.
