whats the differencs between a bahia kelberi...and a kelberi....i just for a bahia about 3 inches and might get 1 more...just curious as to whats the differences if there is a difference.

Collection point. Bahia is a "state" of Brazil.
Kelberi's are always going to be Kelberi's. Its just the collection point of which would give the different colors, markings, and so on.

location name. just like a lot of other species of fish out there, differnt locales could bring in huge differences in color and markings all in the same species.

Yours is a bahia F1. Bahia's have bars of spots on the tail as opposed to random spots. Bars on the bahia body are also lighter and almost faint.

Agreed with KenDragon. You can really tell the difference in the two that are from Bahia and one from a different location.

The Bahia is on the bottom and the top one is from Jeff Rapps (3rd batch WC)
