My Newly Rescued Kids

Ok, what are these two guys / gals??

They were rescued from a night club tank after most of their tank mates had died.

Sorry about the picutre quality, but they just wont pose for me yet.....

 

Now this is a bargain.
Did you buy them or were they given to you??

 

Well considering he had no option, .... Ummmm he gave them to me???

I have no idea what they are though..

He also has a 2.2m x 880 x 350mm tank that he is going to donate soon.... I've just got to break the news to him......

 

lol :bigsmile:

 

First one looks like a female Venustus or a male in really bad shape
Second one looks like OB Zebra. Manmade hybrid

 

LOL good going ...

 

Well, if i can get away with it, then why not?????

And he must pay for his sins, killing fish is a sin...... and he will be punished... by me, who wants the tank.....

Nothing wrong with it in my eyes..... as long as i score....

 

That is true he must pay ...

 

and I must score.....

 

ok, found one of them sure looks like it anyway....

If I am not mistaken that first one looks more like a livingstonii than a venustus what colour is she and yes it looks like a female

In colour I mean is her body yellow or a cream colour

 

Her body is a green/yellow colour

 

So were is the pic of the free tank

 

I called him last night and he just laughed at me!!!!!!!
S.O.A.B!!!!!!!

I will have to get tough and take the war to his wife.... He'll definately squeel like a pig!!!!!! Its just the longer route......

 

he wont stand a chance when his wife takes your side .. considering the pain the poor fish went through ...... after his wife gets hold of him he will most likely deliver the tank

 

thats my intention, it wont fit on my bakkie, he has a 3ton flatbed.......
Work for your sins, my boy.......

now for my next scheme.......
where the hell do I get some more of the same fish???? only 2 is going to look a bit k@k in a nice big tank...... preferably for free, but will pay if I must.....
And I'm still looking for a male Jaguar Cichlid too.. MMMmm wonder if I cant score one for free too..... HAHAHA..

 

Are you goin to put the jaguar cichlid with those malawis?i wouldn advise it..they come from totally different continents with different ph's..malawis do best on their own..the first fish is a nimbochromis venestus.and not a livingstoni..the livingstoni has a different pattern on the body.

 

The Jags are in a 1000l in my garage at the moment, and these guys are in a 1.5m outside my office. No intention in mixing them either, the blue zebra and venustus make terrible Jag food, and expensive food too......

 

were the pics

 

Always wanted a Jag in my Garage....
