They may be almost extinct in the wild, but...

They are doing well in my tank.

Here are some pics of two different Zebra Obliquidens fems holding. I don't think I have a pic of the male in my tank but the last pic is of what one looks like. The Scientific name is Astatotilapia (Haplochromis) latifasciata.

Something like severely endangered I think was the term. Wait, just checked and they are calling the species "Critically Endangered." The population dropped more than 80% in the wild, possibly more....

That's tough. That guy never stops moving and my Camera isn't the greatest. I'll take a video of the male and then screen shot a good profile...

I don't know the exact cause. I know that Victoria has some serious pollution problems as well

No, mine looks pretty much like the one in the last pic in my first post in the thread. Mine has the red going a little higher on the flank, but it's pretty similar. Mine is all geeked out for the ladies though, so he may be showing more than that guy....
