[quote=”Peter Finke” post=3015]Not the tail only, the other fins are not typical nagyi too.
And the photo of the “nagyi”-male when it was young is strange, too. I would not recognize it as nagyi.
Never seen something like this.
Why do you think it to be a nagyi?
Have there ever been adult nagyi and quindecim swimming in the same tank?[/quote]
Hello, Peter,
the young nagyi male (bred by Thorsten Kolb and Anne Pähler) indeed looked a bit strange in it’s youth – first showing really no tail fin colouration. But it developed to a “normal” nagyi, as you can see in my avatar picture and in my nagyi thread.
I first supposed the young fish to be an offspring of my nagyi pair – the “Yeti”-story I reported some time ago. But finding it looking so strange now when showing first colours it reminded me of my quindecim – and I suspected it might be an offspring of the accident I reported here some time ago (see the beginning of this thread): When my quindecim female somehow got into the tank with the females of unknown species which I bought from an import last year. And I – trying to put it back to it’s husband – mistakenly put one of the unknown females in the quindecim tank instead – where it mated once with the quindecim male before I succeeded in putting it back again in it’s own tank and in re-uniting the quindecim pair.
So – if it’s an offspring of my nagyi it should be nagyi,too 😉 .
But if it’s not it must be a hybrid between quindecim and ? And I think I see nagyi features – the short, rounded ventrals, the reddish-brown body colours. You once supposed my unknown females might possibly be nagyi – that’s why I think it might have a nagyi mother – if it’s a hybrid.
