Definately a crossed dolphin. But dunno what with, looking at it it looks like it could be with the 6bars, anythings possible.

...adult collony of 6bars and a breeding trio out venustus a breeding collony of blue dolphins and a collonly of geophagus brazilis..

If those are the only fish in the tank. My bet is it is a crossed of venustus and moorii.

 

[JoePlec]

Its definately half dolphin.

 

[david88]

got some new pics of him/her these ones are alot better might be able to have a better shot of figureing out wat it is
thanks for your help guys

cheers david

Yeah probably half dolphin half venustus.. When you said six bars did u mean 5bars?

 

[david88]

No 6 bar fronnys Ive never seen a 5 bar

 

[david88]

No 6 bar fronnys Ive never seen a 5 bar

I ment there definitely 6 bars fronnys

 

[JoePlec]

Right i never heard frontosa called 6bars.. 5bars are a poor mans frontosa Neolamprologus tretocephalus thats why i suggested the cross. I dont believe dolphins would cross with frontosa so im going with dolphin/venustus being that they are both large haps and ive seen dolphins crossed before.

 

[bigbird]

would tend to agree half venustus and half dolphin. cheers jk :thumbup:
