Question About Tem Race

[ikanyubodoh]

Hi there,

May I know what temensis 'race'/'type' is this?

There's no race/type. It's just a Cichla temensis juvenile.

There's no race/type. It's just a Cichla temensis juvenile.

From Jeff Rapp website; " very chunky grow outs of Venezuelan race-type spotted peacock bass "

All that means is collection location. They're not different species, they're all Cichla temensis no matter where they're collected.

Funny that I find those that I caught dull and aweful looking. Probably due to bad genes

 

[gacericardo]

what are you talking about those are beautiful!

 

[ikanyubodoh]

Okay, beauty is to the eye of the beholder

Is the baby I caught same species as the big ones? Funny that i don't see that many spotted big ones. I find them cooler. Just my preference of course.

i am pretty sure they lose their spots as they get older. could be wrong. i imagine thats why you havent seen any
