Re: Pelvicachromis ID help - part 2

[Bob Wiltshire <apistobob@yahoo.com>]

Mike,

Thanks for the opinion. I am hoping to get others to
chime in still. When the fish were younger they
exhibited more differences. Also, they look somewhat
different when not brooding. I will try to get those
photos in the coming weeks and post them as well. I
also will offer commentary at some point. For now I am
waiting to hear other opinions.

Do you have an address for the West African list? I
have lost it.

Bob
