Je sais Büscher ne suis pas d'accord, et pour longtemps je suis d'accord avec lui, mais après j'ai examiné le type de X. nasus série je ne vois pas pourquoi deux espèces est impliqué - les différences méristiques est si petite qu'ils sont mieux expliquées par d'autres moyens, comme des raisons ...

They are still with the "Red Princess" but in a larger tank (720 liter)

Two incubating females at the moment :wink:

My wild specimens are now in alcohol at MRAC, but I still keep their offspring - they max out at app. 8 cm

Sorry for a reply in English :wink:

I discussed the X. fluorescent green with Büscher a while ago, and he thinks it do not corresponds with X. nasus. There certainly are many similarities in coloration and general shape of the body, but some differences is also present, as the fluorescent green ...

Problem solved :$£: It explains a lot, as it would have been quite sensational with a fish showing all the characteristics of X. ochrogenys occuring at Utinta.

All the best, Thomas

Sorry, I didn't get that :lol:

This dwarf from Mpimbwe is actually mentioned in Konings 1998 book (Tanganyika Cichlids in their natural habitat) p. 91 (the English edition), and the assignement to "calvus" are likely to be an error:

A smaller shell ...

Thanks a lot, Thomas. Could you also translate the photos from Swedish to English? I'll then translate them to french. :DD

:lol:

Apparantly this little cichlid from Cape Mpimbwe seems to be lost for the hobby, as many of the other species/variants discovered by African Diving - quite a shame ...

Here it is in English - now Estelle can translate it into French :P2

Altolamprologus sp. "calvus Micro", by Ingemar Bengtsson. First published in Ciklidbladet (Journal of the Scandinavian Cichlid Association) vol. 04/1993.

The existence of this undescribed Altolamprologus came to my knowledge ...

Ils en parlent en anglais sur cette page. La seule qui est encore active sur le site apparement.

''Boulengerichromis microlepis grows to about 70cm and the yet to be described Altolamprologus sp. "Micro", endemic to Cape Mpimbwe, does not grow larger than 20mm.''

Cichliden-stadl is a good and reliable store (I buy fishes there myself), but isn't it possible that they have made in error, probably providing you with a wrong name?

After all they usually have 6 or 7 different variants, rigth now they have Kavala, Kigoma, Makola, Mzuri, Ndole, Utinta and Zaire ...

Salut,

I don't think this fish is Xenotilapia singularis/X. sp. "ochrogenys ndole". I understand this fish is raised, with their parents apparantly caught at Utinta, Tanzania - I very much doubt it has. What's is your source of these fish ...

A moins que le dessinateur ait été bourré ce jour là, ou qu'il ait fait un dessin fantaisiste ? (tu me diras, c'est possible aussi )

Yes, the drawer had a bad day. The drawing of the holotype do not really represent the holotype very well - every drawing is an interpretation, and this one is not ...

Benoit,

sorry for responding in English, but I will probably be misunderstood if I write my funny French :silly: (Estelle, can you help me out and translate? :wink: )

The holotype and the type-serie of X. nigrolabiata correspond with the Red Princess. You can clearly see all the markings in the ...

Salut, déjà l'espéce X. nigrolabiata n'est pas décrite en lui indiquant une pigmentation rouge ou une tache dans la dorsale, les "red princess" et "fire line" (qui est une variété du premier) sont donc une espèce à part entière qui reste à décrire.
Même s'il y a une affinité évidente avec ...

Merci Estelle

Salut Estelle :)

Just a little explanation to some of the photos (sorry for writing in English :wink: )

Juste une petite explication de certaines des photos (désolé d'écrire en anglais ;) )

Photo 1 is with all probability T. marginatum. Dr. Warren Burgess has examined Mark's specimens and ...

Salut,

some photos of Cryptoheros myrnae :)

Hmmm, for this one, 25 I think :)

Normally they produce between 20-40, depending in the age of the female, condition etc. :)

I'll try in French as well:

Hmmm, pour celui-ci, 25 que je pense. Normalement ils produisent entre 20-40, dépendant dans l'âge de la femelle, de l'état...

Oops, sorry, I didn´t see it should be a "red flavipinnis" :silly:

Then it could be X. flavipinnis "Karema" - that is a red one, located just south of Kekese

Thomas

Sounds like Xenotilapia flavipinnis "Caramba"
