Tanker Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 :thumbs: Awesome link... especially for fools like me who just (as in TODAY) got my first cichlids and just started paying attention to 'that side' of the fish store...

African_Fever Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Darcy, just a heads up, but the fish labelled as Mel. johanni is in fact Mel. interruptus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogelhund Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Darcy, just a heads up, but the fish labelled as Mel. johanni is in fact Mel. interruptus. Darcy informed me of this, and thanks for the heads up. If you ever see anything you take exception to at C-F.com in articles.. whatever, feel free to send me a PM, email whatever... As far as those not being johanni... well who really knows. They don't look like what johanni should look like, but there are so many terribly bred johanni, that they could be johanni. Still, they aren't representative of what they should look like, so they'll be changed. As far as all these "interruptus" on the market, colour me sceptical. I don't think that there has been enough of these kept to be as popular as the numbers show. Honestly, It think half of these fish we ID as such, are poorly bred johanni, or potential hybrids....
