Victorian Cichlids

I recently purchased some victorians, I cannot find much info on them at
all, wondering if anyone could help. They are Paralabidacromis sp. half
crimson tides which I think has been renamed to haplochromis half crimson
and Astatotilapis sp. 44 which we hope are the haplochromis zebra
obliquedens. can anyone confirm or deny?
Thanks a bunch
Kelly

Kelly,
You can try posting your question on my forum at www.amateurcichlids.com as
Kevin Bauman, a hobbyist who keeps and researches a lot of Victorians pops in
there occassionally. You may also have better luck at www.cichlid-forum.com .
There forum has a few thousand members, and there's a chance one or two may have
the information you're looking for. Kevin also frequents that forum. I've not
seen him real active on the newsgroups lately.

astatotilapia (latifasciata) sp. 44 used to be named zebra obliquidens, but
now they're no longer labeled as that...wow...you're so lucky to have gotten
these!!

Excellant, I was hoping it was them If I breed any up, I'll let you know
) I have a largeish male in my 90g, and was hoping these will give me some
girls, I got 5

wow... I was drowning in those for the last couple of years! I had a trio
that was breeding constantly.. I finally got rid of the juveniles at the
last couple of auctions and sold the parents too.

Excellent! I have 6, so hopefully will get a pair Why did you ever get
rid of them? Aren't they from Lake Victoria and dwindling in #'s in the wild
thanks to the nile perch? I'm trying to get my hands on as many victorians
as I can

How are your new fish doing Kelly? I checked out the link in this post and
they look awesome. Why don't you post some pics on our society site
http://mas.gotdns.com/index.php ? I'd like to see your new fish.

Okay. I'll see you at the meeting tomorrow. I'm bringing my camera... so
smile! BTW, Kyle is bringing the new stand tomorrow. Please try not to
drool all over it.

I've just started reading this post and I'm not sure exactly which Victorian
everyone is discussing.

Haplochromis species #44 is the vic that is commonly (and incorrectly)
called the Haplochromis obliquidens.

Astatotilapia latifasciata is the vic that is commonly called the zebra
obliquidens.

One particular color of Paralabidochromis sp "rock kribensis" is the vic
commonly called the Hap "half-crimson"

One particular color of Pundamilia nyererei is the vic commonly called the
crimson tide.
