kml are pretty hard to distinguish due to their huge differences in characteristics unless you're told what they are. They can possess traits of a kamfa or zz, since they are a mixed between the 2. So while some look completely zz, they are considered kml for other characteristics that would be possessed by the kamfa and vice versa. The zz's lips have an under bite. Your fish is definitely a fader, and it has strong characteristics of amphilophus citrinellus. The lips are smooth and smaller than your typical zz. (look at my avatar, we call them duck lips) Yours looks more like a traditional kamfa minus the kok. kml's now a days also seem to be very pearly and have strong color characteristics. The most common kml's are the thai silks. The market has been watered heavily and we just keep adding more and more strains which only adds to the confusion.

Take some better shots of your fish, the whole thing. Yours could definitely fall under kml also imo.

This was mine as a juvie,







So my fish is not a KML because it has Kamfa lips? I do see the difference between calibigrobs and mine since you replied. The weird part is they seem to have the same pattern to them so my guess is there some lineage there but who knows.

My fish seems to have more traits in common with my old Rose Queen...

watered down is a good choice of words...very difficult to tell for novice and expert these days...





Calibigrob,

Please keep us updated!


I promise no more sidetracks :D
