Very nice looking specimens you have there!

**Cichlid Man** · 01-25-2005, 10:18 AM

What outstanding hybrids!

Lisachromis · 01-25-2005, 08:24 PM

Not a hybrid from what I can tell. It's a Vieja synspilum.

**Cichlid Man** · 01-26-2005, 08:59 AM

What about the bright white spots?
I don't think a fish that spectacular could be found living in the wild, they must have been created through selective breeding and possibily cross breeding.(Even though it mostly resembles a synspilum).

Lisachromis · 01-26-2005, 10:06 AM

Synspilum with the dots come from Chiapas in Mexico.

So it is a hybrid then.

Lisachromis · 01-26-2005, 11:04 AM

No, it's not a hybrid. It's a locale.

**Cichlid Man** · 01-26-2005, 11:13 AM

Whats a locile?

By locale, Lisachromis means that specimens of Vieja synspilum collected from Chiapas, have a different coloration than fish from other collection points. ****It's a regional variant. ****Another very good example of this is with Aulonocara stuartgranti. ****A hybrid is the offspring of two fish of different species (such as a "flowerhorn"). ****Hybrids are not assigned any binomial nomenclature.

Kewl fish!There is a Synsp variant(not hybrid)called shinespot(which these look like)being bred and distributed in Germany but be carefull b/c there are some Asian bred Vieja hybrids called shinespots as well.Go to AquaMojo and do a search for shinespot and you'll find a few threads there.Tim
