[scorp]

Aulonocara sp. "Firefish"?

Not sure!

 

[Jason_S]

[[enjoyable_attempt]]

Looks like what they call an Aulonocara jacobfreibergi "Albino Eureka Red"

 

[Ash]

The one to the left I am not really sure. The one to the right with the two fish are what are know as "sunburst" or "firefish" as said earlier. It is a man made hybrid, you can google it using either of those names. I can tell you that neither the one to the right or left is an albino eureka red as those look like this:

agree with ash, not sure what they are but theyre sweet

 

[mike dunagan]

yep hybrid peacocks.

 

[spyke]

yeah, i have heard of them being referred to as draon's blood peacocks...?

 

[Wimmels]

These are Aulonocara Fire Fish. They aren't original malawi, but "breed forms"(don't know the english word). Selective line bred from the Rubin red and I believe some other species

 

[mike dunagan]

I would go with hybrid Wimmel... Line breed means that they stay within a certain species of peacock. These fish have been crossed with different species to get the albino look with colored eyes. I found a person who breeds them, and he regularly crosses a species into the mix to get the color good again.
