Fine I think it is a calvus/comp hybrid.
What would you call that? A. Calvessiceps? or A. Compressivus?
In all honesty though, if it were from any other fish store, i might actually agree to that. But the place i get my fish label all of their Cichlids by scientific name with their "mixed cichlids" tanks seperate for each type. Their staff is top rate and their operation is A-class. How often does anyone walk into a fish store to buy a fish and get questioned about the Cycle of the tank, how long the tank has been and tankmate, before they even reach for a net? I'm not sure about the rest of the country, but Ive dealt with about a dozen different LFS's and The knowledge passion, and service at this place is by far, not the norm. If you tell them you want to buy a dozen fish for your brand new tank that you just set up last night, they'll suggest to you, a few good starter fish, Explain the nitrification process, and send you on your way with a few good starter fish. And they are not afraid to refuse to sell fish into inappropriate conditions. I will take the 45 minute trip (one way) to this place over the rest of the local shops (most of which are within 10-15 minutes) Even just to purchase Supplies. And it shows with the business. For a LFS in the middle of Nowhere, You're often required to "take a number" at the fish room.
My only gripe: I really wish they were closer.
I would assume it's possible as they are so closely related. I'm sure if it's possible, someone has done it. but to be honest, in all my experience and research, i've never heard anything about it.
will they grow faster with more water changes? Grammodes gro slow but with 3 wc a week mine grew faster than the one with 1 wc a week, both fed the same.
Is this the same fish? It was sold to me as a Lamprolgus Mustax... but i cant find anything on it:
Based on that photo, or what i can see from it anyways, I would guestimate that what you have there is a Compressiceps. It is difficult to tell by that photo, It could very well be a Calvus. It is most certainly not Lamprologus mustax though.
