What's the difference between Metriaclima estherae (OB), Metriaclima zebra (OB), and Metriaclima callainos (OB)? Just trying to figure out how many OB species or variants there are and if they're really distinguishable.

You were right. Very nice fish!!!

As I discovered recently that, remember the OB in these themselves are not hybrids, in the lakes that makes them rare, now in the trade not rare, however I have not seen a blue ob, mainly the "red"

yes that is what i meant..i have lots and lots and lots of ob and orange/red ob but i read the blue were rare even in the lake.. wish i could find him a mate ..maybe i would get some but probably not be passed on..then i would have lots and lots more..haha
