I like the hap. sp44 and really liking my hap. fire when he is all colored up. I have an all male vict tank hoping that they all will color up I currently have a zebra obliq. hap 44, salmon, and fire. They have all kind of subdued their colors for the most part now.

Do you have a pic of the Zebra obliq... so it can be ID for sure...
 
I have always wondered why vics are not as popular as the malawi and tangs. they have great color and are very active with a more variable diet then say the mbuna's. They are also very hardy. I guess the ugly females thing decreases there popularity.

Maybe because theres just fewer of them?? All i know is i am glad i discovered them even if it were by accident..
 
so Furu is like the word mbuna?

I do not think that article makes it worse... If anything it clears up or further pushes the ideas we have already discussed great read...

So I guess we will refer to vics as Furu from now on... well the type in this thread...


No matter what we should do our bests to help each other to get the names right and spread these fish... I will set aside some space to do an all male tank to help...


someone contact my wife and explain the need please...

I was looking at Dave's Rare Fish online and those little guys were like $45/per. They are really sweet. It's rare to find an understated African. Usually they are way over the top!!!

What did they set you back? Did you get them local at a LFS or breeder or have them shipped?

If they were priced at $45 then they were probably colored up adults.

From what I understand whenever you see sp. it means that the species name is not known.

Sp. and Spp.: Sometimes we must deal with organisms for which, for various reasons, we know the genus, but not the species. In such cases the organism is identified by the generic name followed by the abbreviation "sp" e.g., Lutjanus sp. to refer to some type of common snapper, or Lutjanus spp. to refer to several species of common snappers. These abbreviations can also be used when the names of the specific species is not important to the subject under discussion.
