marmorata

[R1_Ridah]

You lost me. LoL! Two of the three are sold, but there is a pair, who what?! LoL! Joey gets two, simple as that. Randy keeps one. Guess you getta pair Joey! Even better! They are awesome marmoratas! They are definately, 100% the Rio Tapajos variant....which, is probably one of the better looking ones! Love them! You definately got some HOTT pikes! Lets see some updated pictures when they are in your tanks aight!

Just perfect for the pair as I'm picking up a 180 this weekend =-)

I'm new to the Pike world so I'll probably be asking you guys plenty of questions =-)

I'm excited

You're new? I thought you had that spectacular Crenicichla strigata in your other show tank! LoL! You'll definately have a blast with these marms.....they are superb fish. I also got them myself...lol. You might end up kicking yourself though for not getting all three if that pair bond breaks. Heres to hoping it lasts! BTW...glad to have yaz as part of the gang! You'll quickly get addicted I think!

Very nice looking female Tapajos Marm.

 

[milokai]

how many type of marmorata out there?

 

[ShadowStryder]

Rio Tapajos, Rio Trombeta, Rio Xingu, and I have read of Rio Madeiri. Rio Tapajos is the Variant the Wayne Leibel bred, his article is on Vin Kutty's site. A very nice variant,
which is what it looks like you have. But my favorite is the Rio Trombeta variant.
The one you see in my avatar is mine. I was told it is a Rio Trombeta but I am waiting for it to color out to be sure.

I was gonna ask you what type is that on your avatar..that is very nice marmorata..like that. can post or pm me pictures of your trombeta. thanks shadowstryder.

 

[ShadowStryder]

The one in my avatar is the one that we believe is a Trombeta. Go to page 26 in the Pike
Cichlid photo shoot thread and I have a few more pics. Ive also got some earlier in their when she was younger.
