FishManTy Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) Got these from a local store that can stay nameless, but they were sold to me as "female Iceburg fryeri" Erm... are they? They definately look weird Heres number 1: And number 2: and number 3: What I don't understand, is why number 1 has yellow in its fins, but number 2 and 3 don't. Number 2 has more silver in its top with a hint of red near the end, and number 3 has no coloring just a hint of silver in the very tip of the top fin... It doesn't make sense to me... help think I should return number 1 and 2, as they are so f'd up? thanks Ty Edited March 1, 2005 by FishManTy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishManTy Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Sorry that they are a bit blurry... had to mess with the shutter speed to get desent colors that weren't completely blurred, and then had to crop them and blow them out a bit. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahim101 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 number 3 looks like a female of some sort, 1 and 2 are males. #1 is a mutt and #2 is unknown!!!!! Please do not let anyone shop there!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Aren't female Fryier plain with no color? The first 2 look like males then. Can't really see the head structure but they kind of look like peacocks. Scary stuff :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckle Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 The last 2 pics definately look like fryeri female, I keep them myself. As for the others, hard to tell. I have a fryeri female that has a bit of iridescences on her face, but other than that she is plain brown & grey vertical striping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ty, if you feel like catching them I could come over and vent them for you. There'd hopefully be no questions then. As far as 'iceburg' or not, you'd have to see their father to know for sure. Otherwise that's a lot of trust to be putting in someone.

FishManTy Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Next time your over we can catch em and vent em. Got one of them fancy little head magnifyglass things that Don had? :P That thing was cool Im gonna be returning female #1, and possibly #2... number 3 im still on the fence about. I may just return her and possibly buy a breeding group I saw in the bargain finder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahim101 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 That would be the way to go as from what I see, they could be hybreds!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 JMO, but I would return them all. #1 & 2 look like hybrids to me, and they sure as hell aren't females, unless they've been 'juiced'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
