Sweet looking. If Jhutch is wrong I would go with the Xystichromis Phytaphagus "Yala Swamp". Would love to find some juvies if that is what it is though. Any conections?

Pundamilia Pundamilia???

 

[jhutch]

They are one of the few Vics I know that are that dark. I also tried to remember what all you said you had.

could be a crimson tide? but definatly not a fulu from yala swamp

 

[deadman]

jhutch was correct, it may have taken a little longer if he hadnt had inside info. but congrats jhutch, no prize. greg and i to my knowledge are the only ones in the states with both male and female. so far im very pleased with them. and as soon as they begin to reproduce and we know that they are pure bred, ill make some fry available to you. here is another for you all to work on
