i know im being skeptical but ID this pls.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They seem to be showing sign of red iris now....... getting red everyday...
oh god..
maybe they gnna end up as ocellaris lol
 
there are few to no occells sold in lfs here. the few batches that came in @ 120bux for 1-2" came in as cb kelberi frm taiwan as the lfs said...red iris has nothing to do with the id of the fish. you got f1 kelberi. the only reason they aren't showing super spangling like some of the kelberi you've seen around is because they are captive bred.
 
looks like a occelaris to me i had one with an allmost identical pattern it developed red eyes around 8 inches . scientifically anal fin spangling is the biggest tell of a kelberi i dont see any, and they have them early at 6 inches you would see them especially having that fish in the tank for a while it should be stable by now and showing full color may have a mutt kelb x occelaris mix but i doubt it look around there are tons of kelb posts you can see huge difference

F1 series ? seriously i still dont understand those codes.. F1 SP.. blah blah what do they mean ? i only know MP = market prawn lhahaha

xander , nanyang selling some pb for 8.80 their only 1-2" .. and well
only in chinese name.. Zhen Zhu PB... lol is that mono? they say those lil guys will dev white spots
 
shrugs like xander say iris has nothing to do with type. shrugs..
well wild and farmbred is different i guess....
still i wonder what those pbs eat in the wild to get such nourishment
haha.. im not sure the length of mine pb.. it probably 5-6"
it hard to measure w/o taking it out and putting it beside the ruler
as u know the glasses sure magnify fish sometimes or zoomout to it.

F0 = Wild caught
F1 = First generation captive bred

F0 + F0 = F1

So they are the offspring of wild kelberis ... Well guessing one of them would be wild Kelberi at least wondering if they a mixed parents guess I just have to wait one more month to see their progression :3
