My new fish ..Is this a fuellerborni ???

[Red Devil]

what kind would this guy be if he is a true Fuellerborni.. QUOTE]

Doesn't look like
Baloney to me Liz
J/K Nice fishy

after looking up info i found there is hardly any difference between the fuelleborni or Labeotropheus twewavasae except fuelleborni is chunkier thicker body and trewavasae is slimmer body... i am on the lookout for some females now so it is good to know exact ones i need to keep them pure.

Like you said the Fulliborni body is higher than that of the trewavasae

I got a rescue and it was hard for me to tell as well, i ended up going with fuellerborni because my fish looked like a real porker, almost obese looking body when compared to fin size etc.. Here is a pic of mine that im 99.9 sure is fuellerborni : (he has permanant tail damage from inproper tankmates, poor thing)Its hard to tell from the side view pics but this fish is also very fat looking when viewed from the front, it basically is built like a tank)

Yes she looks fuellerborni to me as well.. female looking to me..she is sweetie..the reason why i like these guys so much{either one of the types} is because they are so tough.. rugged little guys..have totally unique personality... only people who have them can understand what i mean..

Get a few females as they can be really mean to females...

And if it is ..then i think it is male.... what kind would this guy be if he is a true Fuellerborni.. Labeotropheus?? He is so far getting along with my hybrid type fuellerborni shown here too..

Cute! I have one of those, mine is an ity-bity one though lol.

I think I would lean more towards Labeotropheus trewavasae. The snout is a bit more elongated than a fuelleborni.
