Hi all,.
Does anyone have a good breeding color photo
of full grown L. flavilabris? I had this fish about 20 years ago
having come upon a wild pair that originated thru Wayne Leibel. What I
recall about the pair was the very changeable and dark breeding colors
of this fish.In addition, it was a large Laetacara with the male being about 4
inches and a prolific breeder. Finally, the most noteworthy characteristic
was the very long dorsal and anal fin extensions (both male and
female) which extended well beyond the end of the caudal fin.These
tremendously flowing fins made for a very attractive fish. I'd like
to reaquire this fish if possible but I am not now sure of the ID. It
seems that L.thayeri may more fit this description as to size and coloration. However, I've never seen thayeri with the fin
extensions or in breeding colors. Perhaps there was still confusion on
IDs at that time? Does Wayne participate in this
forum? Perhaps he remembers and can comment.
..............thanks.........................Ron
