African_Fever Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 The first pic, fish on the left is a Met. greshakei. Not too sure what else you're asking for, the fish in the second pic I thought had been ID'd for you already. I don't see any peacocks in any of your pics though.

skotttie100 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for the help African Fev, it was very usefull, as for the one on the right in the first picture is that not an OB Peacock? I was told at the time of purchase so would just like to find out for sure, and yes the other ones wear identified but was messaged and asked for a better picture so I tried to clean it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfishal Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The OB looks like it may be a OB zebra or a OB labeotropheus. It dose not look to have the peacock body shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skotttie100 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey Thanks, i was able too track it down and you wear correct with the OB Zebra from what I can see, as for the other fish it looks like I have 2 Males, so I will be looking for some females I didnt know of these till today and they are a really nice looking fish so just might trying too breed them, finnally have my tanks re-aranged to stop the bastard Hybrids falling out all over.

RD. Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Well I hope this doesn't burst any bubbles, but I'd be willing to bet $$$ that your OB "zebra", are actually OB peacock x mbuna cross. If you looked in the "mixed African" tank on the back wall, there was a superb OB zebra juvie. If you compare the two fish, you'll see what I mean.

RD. Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 These are what OB zebras look like ...... http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=2316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hey Scott, it appears that I may have been wrong about the OB's. Certainly a somewhat different looking strain, but they appear to be correct in form. (I was looking at them more closely today) If you are looking for female M. greshakei to go with your 2 males, there's a bunch of them in that same tank. Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFISHGUY Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't think you'll find a male ob in that tank anymore,but lots of female greshaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
