Sammy Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I bought these from the auction and they were marked as Aulonocara hueseri. At the auction I notice the body structure look very similar to the Hueseri and I over looked the colors due to the stress factor from being mauled all day in a bag. Now that I have had then a couple weeks and they have been on their own for over a week I noticed that they look very close to the Aulonocara ethelwynnae. Any thoughts on this? anyone ever keep these Aulonocara ethelwynnae? or Midnight "huerseri? here are some recent pictures I hope they were just labeled wrong and not some hybrid cause i kinda like em now. Any feedback would be appreicated. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

African_Fever Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) They do look like a chitande-type Aulonocara (ethelwynnae being the only described one), but I personally have trouble positively ID'ing 100% any Aulonocara as something other than what it was originally labelled, especially at an auction due to the fact that so many people seem to think that keeping different variants together is ok. Best bet would to be to try to get ahold of whoever sold them and see what they bought them as and if hueseri was just their best guess or not. But from what I can see in your pics, it does look like ethelwynnae (definitely not hueseri due to the black dorsal on yours). Nice looking fish.

Sammy Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi, I was looking alittle more on the net after work and am convinced it is a ethelwynnae. Thanks African_fever, Gina, Hanner944. I am waiting for an email from the seller to see if it can be confirmed. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlonelycruiserx Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 It does look like a ethelwynnae due to the black inthe fins, but the yellow on hte body isnt dark enough to be one. Could be a camera problem. IMO wait a couple of weeks to see if he get even darker, if he does then you would know. HTH Hung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
