Sammy Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) Good evening, I was given these at the auction and they were listed as female Placidochromis Phenochilus. I cant find any pictures of phenochilus that look like these. They were from Big al's originally rumored to be from owef. I know there are a few variants of this species like Tanzania,mdoka,and another I dont recall the name but none of them look like these supposed females. Does anyone have any ideas about the fish in these pictures? Could they be Placidochromis Phenochilus "Mdoka"? I kinda think they look abit like electra's with something else. Notice that clutch of eggs? Those are from my breeding bristlenose. I just put some more caves in last weekend and already finding eggs in them. Thanks in advance, Sammy Edited October 23, 2005 by Sammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 How big are they? My Pheno juvies(the ones i got in the raffle) have balck markings through their eyes and much darker banding then the ones in your pics. Is it just the pic or are they that pale without stripes? Mine look just like your other phenos(minus the speckles) The fish in the pics don't look like electras(alteast not when i used to have them). Those also always had black running through the eyes and black stripes, same black marking as the phenos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyswife Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi Degrassi, Thanks for the info. These fish are 4" - 5" and just didn't quite look right. They all have stripes sometimes but clearly are not phenos.... These fish have been returned to the lfs I think they originally came from.
