nevchewy Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=887 would anyone disagree with Pseudotropheus sp. "Elongatus Ornatus" ??? from the picture it doesn't look that elongated... nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 That looks almost exactly like the "Ornatus" I had - Medicdude should be able to give you a "for sure" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 In the pics of ornatus you have put up, the barring isn't going all the way to the base of the tail like it is in nevin's pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevchewy Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm not sure it is Elongatus Ornatus or a female Kenyis... I was just sent this other picture and it has me scratching my head. Its not elongated and the stripes do look like they are going to the tip of the tail. it still could be a Kenyis but it would be a very poorly bred fish as there are too many stripes and it just doesn't look right. I'm picking up this fish on saturday as this fish was dumped on a friend... any one want to take another guess? nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 It looks to have too many stripes to be a kenyi, and the stripes are a bit skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
