Re: Pls help ID! A. nijsseni or pandurini???

[BigJohnW@webtv.net (John Wubbolt)]

Ok , my 2 cents worth here,  I believe its a Panduro.... looks very much
like mine.   Nijsseni dont have that marking in the caudal fin or area
like a Panduro has.   Just my guess.

As for Sals opinion on a cross.... well could be.
But I have to admit, several years ago , I had a lone male Nijsseni and
a lone female Panduro and put them together looking to see if they would
cross spawn, that was when nobody was sure if sp pandurini was a valid
species or sub species color morph of Nijsseni.    Of course we now know
that Panduro is a valid species.   Anyways, this mixed pair lived
together for about 6 months being mature adult fish and never did they
once spawn, while being good spawners with their former mates.    I
tried because i was curious what the offspring would look like.    Never
had any, so cant say what they would have looked like.

Either way, Nice fish you have there!!!

Tundra John,
