What is a Gorillus Blue?

[Freshwaterpredators]

Actually no Jason, that's even less correct than what animal guy stated. There are numerous fish within the amphilophus genus that are considered "midas" by hobbyists and researchers in the field, as clearly demonstrated in my sticky on F1 Midevils. In fact, in the case of amphilophus it is FAR more confusing (even among the experts) as to what fits where.

As previously stated;

Unless you or someone else has something further to offer up, the "gorillus" are simply different geographical variants of the same species.

Which is exactly what I was meaning Neil. I only didn't go into the discussion on how confusing the Midas complex is. I also meant that you can breed two Midas and they can throw the mutated color genetic whereas you can't breed any two rio Magdelana umbee and expect to get a gorillus, panama green, or sp. choco. I was also mention that it doesn't help when someone refers to the gorillus blues n blacks are the same when genetically yes but not by appearance. They may look similar but are obviously different than any other varient.
I will also agree to consider the umbees all as variants untill further research is done. Which I would really like to see the umbees undergo further research to help clarify things for us all

You know what man, maybe I've pegged you wrong as you've been civilized while I haven't been real nice or tactful venting my frustration which I maybe displacing on you with how some seem to just want answers hand fed to them. So I'm going to suck it up and do what I rarely do and apologize, I'm sorry for running off at the mouth and assuming. Personally as I never like to take full responsibility when I'm wrong so I'll put the majority of the blame on me trying to quit smoking as the reason I acted like a bit of a turd. Matter of fact it was after smoking a cig(what can I say I'm weak) I reread the thread and saw that I wasn't acting appropriately or being very understanding, so again I apologize.

@Freshwaterpredators gotta say very nice work on the site those are some awesome pics.

Thank you very much I still have a long way to go with my photo skills and the site but I am glad I created it

Ok, I see what you meant now Jason, thanks for the clarification. I totally agree, in fact I believe I was one of the first people to recommend not breeding different geographical variants, for just that reason.

As if it wasn't already confusing lol aside from breeding different geographical varients which is being done, I will still breed them to their original locations and be sold as such to try and help maintain pure locations available to the hobby

Apology 100% accepted. I look forward to seeing /talking to you on other posts on MFK. It takes balls to apologize, we've all been there and it is greatly appreciated.
