RD. Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Someone sold a group of juvenile Paratilapia polleni at the last Edmonton auction - does anyone here recall who the breeder/vendor was of those fish? I'm attempting to track down the geographical variant of these fish. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Edited January 26, 2014 by RD.

patmonza Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 You can check with Bill and Irene . I know they do or did sell them and they go to the calgary/edmonton auctions and sell their fish there. Hope this helped http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showuser=4061 and https://sites.google.com/site/bandiaquariumsthreehills/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks, but Bill & Irene have no idea what variant or species this is, beyond what I know. They originally purchased my fish along with some siblings at the Edmonton auction, but they were simply sold as Paratilapia polleni. I need to find the original breeder/vendor who placed them into the auction in Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm pretty sure Harold was breeding them... so they probably came from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks Jorg. Problem is from what I have seen of Harold's polleni sold/bred in the past, they appeared to be sp. East Coast (small spot) and Harold listed them simply as paratilapia polleni "small spot". The ones sold at the Edmonton auction, at least the one I ended up with is not sp. East Coast. This is from a 2008 thread on AA, male was from Harold, female from Gold's, both look to be sp. East Coast, or at least a small spot variant. http://i48.servimg.com/u/f48/12/28/73/20/dscn0010.jpg and his facebook listing from June ...... https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=133162793556328&id=132215710317703&stream_ref=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
