Tomartin Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Vid description has it all, never knew what he is. Originally thought he might be a white lab hybrid of some kind or a white zebra. Video was taken 7 months ago and he looks pretty much the same but his pectoral fins are shorter and he is wayyyyyyy bluer.

Yodapwnsasmurf Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 No idea what it is, but keen to go have a fish wherever you caught him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomartin Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Caught him in a small pond in seabreeze, the other cichlids in there were yellow. I have since been back but there's nothing but eels hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yeah, right. Were they Electric yellows, or zebras maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 just my wee opinion but I think a hybrid with cobolt blue in there...the long fins makes me think of a cross with another afra or mbuna of some sort... its definitely not a gudgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
