patrick Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) It's been a while since I posted any pictures of Vic's. The first one is a male Pundamilia azurea from Ruti Island, the strain is from University of Hull. It's hard to see in the picture but the fins are white tipped. The second is a male Astatoreochromis alluaudi, strain from University of Leiden. Edited January 21, 2010 by patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Great looking fish. So when you say the strains are from a certain location does that mean they aren't naturally occuring or just where they were bred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you say the strains are from a certain location does that mean they aren't naturally occuring or just where they were bred? With vic's it is extra useful to know as many details about their origin as possible since they are rarely imported, and often crossbred. This strain of P. azurea was collected at Ruti Island in Lake Victoria I believe 3 generations ago and have been kept at the University of Hull for research purposes. The A. alluaudi has been kept at University of Leiden for the very same reason, but I am not sure where in the lake they were originally collected.
