I got these recently, can anyone tell me exactly what kind of hemichromis are they? Are these developed or natural variety?
Thanks!

someone got to know about these
 
Whatever they are, theyre very nice. The first one sort of looks like a killifish.
 
They appear to be Hemichromis sp. 'turquiose' which is believed to be a line bred color form of the standard common guttatus ... though there is some debate as to weither they are line bred color form or hybrids.
 
a pretty one i saw one like that at petsmart !! all most got it cause of the color but remembered they can be little *** holes
 
looks like a jewel mixed with a jack demps
i got a REALLY nice dempsy today for 3 dollars
at petco!
lol
 
They don't tend to be as aggressive as their more natural "wild" varieties.
As far as I have read and heard they are line bred varieties and are getting pretty common place in the hobby around here.
