Vallisneria Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Looks like a Pseudotropheus Acei. Depending on all the tankmates and who she mated with, the fry might be hybrids. Do you have more Acei? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 The only way to tell if they are hybrids is to ether have witnessed the breeding or you can raise up the fry and see what they look like. BUt depending on what 2 species bred, its not always easy to tell if its a hybrid by looking at the fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Could also be a Met. greshakei, and it would be hard to tell for sure without better pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
