oddball jewel cichlid

[midnight]

OMG today I saw a old lady with half a black face!!! I immediatly thought HOLY CRAP maybe she had nerve damage... I went to ask her n to my suprise the other half of her face was black too! So I said "wow did u have nerve damage on both sides of ur head? Cuz ur whole face is black!!!".... she looked at me a lil funny n said "Man quit smoking crack!"

Probably would be deleted if someone reported it, but I won't be the one to report.

Midnight, when I skimmed the first post, I wondered why you kept him around for so long without feeding it. Still an oddball- although I was hoping to find out that you caught a two tailed jewel.

i always keep the oddballs and neat looking ones
i have so many feeders i dont need to use him
and a 2 tailed fish would be cool to net

My pbass that got a black segment to his body died in a couple of months. Near the end the black started to wash out and it was a little pink.
If you would call a fish with a bad skin fungus that made it look like it had sparkles, or was polka dotted an oddball, then yes, that fish is an oddball. It's not really cool though in the sense that we commonly think of oddballs. Odd, maybe. The fish is hurt. It wasn't born that way.

still settling in
crappy pix...

All you guys are claiming that this isn't an oddball because we know it's cause. By that logic, neo's mundis are a dime a dozen- after all they're only products of genetic mutations.

That's a product of genetic mutation? And you know that how? If a fish that's sick and looks different because of it is an oddball, then sure, it's an oddball.

that fish wasnt born like that, and that cannot be passed down to future generations.

Definitely

Still an oddball when compared to "normal" members of the species. What about an amputee? Guy has one leg. He would be considered abnormal when compared to the majority of the population. His condition is also not passed through the generations.
