Captive PBB Photos and Observations

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Head shape on the PBB looks nice and flat. Eyes aren't buggy at all. Dorsal spines are a bit off and the tail seems a bit round. Still looks pretty nice.
 
really hoping they don't overbreed them and make them more of a seasonal thing like teugelsi. Looking forward to all these PBBs!!
The thing with teug, they are not popular like PBB,Lap and endli especially in asia where fish market if booming, so if the cb pbb becomes a hit they might breed more, imo.

I'll try to snap some more shots tonight, it's gotten pretty cozy behind the filter with the moke so it's getting harder to get a great look

Can you turn the internal filter on it's side?

That would allow the pbb to hide under it and maybe easier to photograph
 
I thing i noticed in asia they dont have to much laps, they rather have pbb in their tank, not like here in US here we like most lap varients cause its harder for us to get PBB.
That's not true. I have seen plenty of lapradei variant in Asia. Asia has everything bro. The fish market over there is huge. :(

I can't be sure, but take a look. Do these look different than other CB Koliba you've seen?

Other CB Koliba I've seen have the same pattern. Only difference is the headshape and eyes like you said it seems like the quality dropped a bit. Or these are coming in from another breeder.

I'll have to mess with it, I'm worried the harness wouldn't work right horizontally and I don't want it to fall

Best not to risk it.
 
Still not fully settled but looking good so far.


(Just noticed that tiny Moke under the driftwood)

Pretty sure I'm seeing 15 fins, slightly uneven, with also a small scale deformity behind the ears, the first 10 or 15 scales
