They're all thesame fish.
 
They're all thesame fish.

So what do we currently call this? A Faranah lap? A Guinea lap? or other?

Was it called something different in the past? Vancouver_98683 Vancouver_98683 called his something different.

Just curiosity, we all have been talking variant and catch location and comparing the differences. Been fun discussions, just learning things

Those links above containing photos comtain both. 1 is more green while other is on the tank brown side. Variables could turn green or brown dependant on lighting and substrate of course. I can send many more examples but derailing dmd thread. Lol

They look the same to me. Just they are in totally different tank environment. Different lighting and one water looks medicated, while the other isn't. One batch is more settled in, while other batch looks washed out. Both look like any typical sp.Dabola. :D

Polyaddict86 Polyaddict86 def get the faranah endli on ur next order...you'll be happy with it
 
Lap looks great dmd
Thanks! After we had talked about the lap that was rehomed and you mentioned the head shape being weird, I had to find pics and yeah it was a little different. This lap seems to have a nice shape melon and has attitude!
 
E and F are the same thing
I think he means E is supposed to be dabola the hybrid or new specie and F is endli dabola, in which case they may or may not be the same thing

Not directed to endli complex specifically. I chose to put in Dabola and sp. Dabola for a reason .These undetermined specie have been labeled this way from dealers all over the world. There are so many examples of these labels because not much is known about these .

The same uncertainty with the sp. Faranah complex. Huge difference in appearance for same collection locale. One may look like an endli while the other looks more like a lap for sp. Faranah
