kamfa vs kamalau

[ponyboy]

whats the difference between a kamfa and a kamalau? is it just color or something more?

 

[papillon]

kamfa are late maturing in terms of breeding purposes and often time molt, kamalau are pearly in scale with intense coloration. you can differentiate them in eye color often time fh with kamfa linage have white color eye and kamalau have orange color eyes.

Can someone elaborate further?

Most Kamfa that I have seen, they have a torpedo nuchal hump. In other words, their head grows forward. Kamfa can range from white, yellow, and red eyes. Most Kamfa will mature later than Kamalau, 2.5 years being the average. Kamfa bodies are more square and compact. Kamfa can have pearls just like Kamalau, and Kamfa can have color just like Kamalau. So the coloring is out of the question here. Kamfa can either have a fan tail, or wrapped tail.
Kamalau mature an average about 1.5 years. Most Kamalau that I have seen have red eyes, some also carries yellow. Compact body like a Kamfa. Does not contain the cute baby face as Kamfa. The head can be hard, semi, full water. The head growth can be a torpedo, mushroom, or a balloon. Pearls as a Kamfa, but no Kamalau to date have any armor pearls from what I know.

I'll try to think of some more...

Armor pearls?

 

[fishnut]

The red kamfah only has flower 1/2 toward body.
Kamalau has flower mark from tail to eye and more pearls.
Not: These are old type of fish back in the day. Things change a bit nowaday. I had these fish about 6-7yrs ago.
