Geos are ALLLLL that i keep...in that pic the one on the left looks like a pellegrini but the one on the right looks like a female red hump (steindachneri) so i need better pics to tell you for sure

Sorry about that, it was working in the preview. I'll try the link, not sure if it's just working for me becuase it's cached.

Sadly, Pellegrini come from isolated rivers smack dab in the middle of Colombia's largest cocaine plantations. There were never collectors in that area of Colombia to begin with, but it's not safe to try and collect there now. One group of germans made the run and brought some back to germany, but that was only the one time.

i still do not think they are pellegrini....i think they are steiny's only

 

[darth pike]

I wouldn't be surprised, it seems like steiny's make up about 75% of the 'pellegrini' sold, while crassilabris make up the other 25%. It still often is worth trying for them, incase you do get the crassilabris though.

i am the only one of 2 i know of that has pellegrini, my breeding group i sold to a fellow gcca club member, i have 11 or 12 growing out, steindachneri and pellegrini do not look the same as fry, juvs or adults, snookn21 is selling steindachneri along with tfd.....
