Lol thx tlindsey tlindsey


Gl with him. Keep updating as he grows very curious. Wonder when they will be available here
 
He looks nice, keep us updated, I wasn't aware they were CB ones yet lol
 
Very cool fish, but I'm reluctant to believe these are actually bred from dabola parents. They look very similar to CB lapen. Also it seems that if sp. dabola were to be an actual species, it would've been announced way before these babies hit the market. I'm also curious to know what you've payed for these fish? Overall I think what you have is a CB lapen that is mislabeled by a fish store. Very cool fish, but I'm hesitant to believe it's a truely bred from sp. dabola parents, until the sp. is taken away to indicate the establishment of a new species.

I saw many CB lapens but this guys little strange.
First, their color is gray anytime.
Most of CB lapen have brown color
And their fin, heal shape make me know their parents are WC
Most of lapens parents CB lap and endi so their head shape and fin looks different.
Last, there ixport name is "sp.dabola" in that farm, they breed lapen too but they don't use "sp.dabola" to CB lapen

There are four type of sp.dabola around the world, and they are just not a hybrid.
 
I appreciate what your saying, but until the sp. is removed I can't fully believe that is a true CB sp. dabola. Also I have seen my fair share of CB lapen that are that same shade of gray. Also almost all CB endlis have that gray color when they are young. I do not see these characteristics you describe, that clearly display WC parents, but rather a couple different signs pointing towards CB parents, and specifically a lapradei and endli cross. Also if you don't mind me asking what did each seperate fish cost?

I paied 30$(35000₩)etc. Just same with CB congicus
 
For a CB sp. dabola, I would've expected to pay way more. Especially if it's one of the first to be bred, the price would have been way higher.
