    Hello again! Are here any Killi-Experts still...?
    I need a quick request about correct ID these two specimens of Chromaphyosemion Splendopleure:



    Camera used: CANON 350D
    Lenses: EF 50 mm/f2.5 Compact-Macro and EF 50 mm. f/1.8 II
    Ext. flashes:Canon Speedlite 430 and 580EX

    Re: AQUASAUR's Killies shots...

    Hey Hristo,
    Thanks for the PM and request to ID the SPLs but, cards on the table, I have little confidence to ID them, let alone provide a specific population.

    It's also very misleading to try tag population codes to killies based on image reference alone. The only time I tag on and keep to the codes, is what I ordered and arrive tagged. In the event of a shop purchase, I'd stick to Aquarium strain. Really wished I could be of more help though. Perhaps I can contact Stormhawk (JianYang) to chip in his thoughts.

    That said, those specimens are helluva beautiful!!!!! You're really bad... to tempt me back into killie-keeping (but I have other priorities at the moment, so I shall resist! )

    Splendid pics nonetheless and time to swap out my laptop's wallpaper! Thanks for sharing!!! I have no doubt you're keeping the rest of us inspired with their beauty.
    I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
    Ronnie Lee

    Re: AQUASAUR's Killies shots...

    Thank you very much,Ron !

    The first one suppose to be Chromaphyosemion splendopleure "Tiko", but I'm not so sure... ???
    Here are few more close up shots 2 months later than the first photo:







    BTW, Hey...Ron...What are these "other fish priorities"...!?? Can you show me any "other" fish of yours, more handsome and beautiful than this!?

    Re: AQUASAUR's Killies shots...

    Hi Hristo,
    If you compare the presumed "Tiko" in it's juvenile coloration and those as a matured specimen, note the huge discrepancy in banding demarcation, color variation and intensity? This is another reason why guessing killie species or population by photos is very unreliable and a huge setback to those involved with species maintenance. It is a splendopleure no doubt, with it's characteristic yellowish tips at the dorsal, anal and caudal fins.

    Last I knew, there were two phenotypes of the "Tiko" population; the green and the orange. The ones I bred and maintained were the orange pheno.
    Chromaphyosemion splendopleure Tiko.
    Here's another young specimen taken by CK.

    I must admit initial consideration leaning towards Chromaphyosemion splendopleure "Ekondo Titi" but hell no... I just couldn't be sure either. Look up this post and decide for yourself. Please excuse the quality of the images but I've tried my best to share.

    If you visit Alf & Anita's Killi Gallery and look specifically at their "Tiko", you'd begin to understand why I'd pee in my pants to ID a killie or introduce a questionable breeder fish into my maintenance program.

    The second pic in your 1st posting seems to be a Chrom. bitaeniatum but it's your best bet to confirm the ID from the source you bought them from. Most serious killie-breeder who's diligent in species maintenance will have decent record keeping.

    My new "others" doesn't have scales but feathers, specifically, the Black-headed Caique (Pionites melanocephala) and this is my pair of clowns.

    More in their album. Enjoy!

    Aquasaur, the person to contact about IDing those Chrom is Rudolph Pohlmann (spelling?) of the DKG.

    Greaty photos!

    Re: AQUASAUR's Killies shots...

    Nice photo of a pretty rare fish Hristo. Please send my regards to Todor and Kiril as well. I bought eggs in the past from Todor and they were very good.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable

    jaw dropping dude!
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Re: AQUASAUR's Killies shots...

    Nice fish Hristo. I had Ep. togolensis for awhile. That fish was beautiful in it's own right. IMO, the most beautiful Epiplatys is probably Ep. bifasciatus.

    Re: AQUASAUR's Killies shots...

    That Simpsonichthys santanae is stunning. Surely, this is one of the most beautiful SAAs. I must try get some back from my friend whom I gave them to. I do have a pair of parallelus and hope to spawn them. Lovely little fish. :-)

    Stormhawk, bifasciatus is a lovely fish but so difficult to breed!

    Thanks, Hristo, for posting these excellent photos.
