Parachromis sp La Ceiba "Yellow Head" Photo

[cookiemonster]

They are at that. And what I find that's really amazing is how similar they look to some of the other fish. Here's a shot of the F0 Freddies from Cenote Escondido (top three Parachromis two females and a male) The female Loiselli resemble the female Freddie...but the males look very little like the male Freddie.

The bottom two fish are the "Yellow Head" in regular dress. The male top left of the two...the female on the bottom. You can see what Ken and I were referring to about the fish being thicker body and shorter fins. Compare the female to the male. She looks like she has a gut. He has a much more streamlined body.

Man, you have the most incredible collection! You'll have to get me some fry if those Cenote Escondido freddies breed. Friedrichsthallii is my favorite fish. I went to Cenote Escondido last spring to see them (and enjoy the fabulous beaches of course), but only saw one large male.

I pulled 10 from 4-6" out of the pond today. Very cool fish I plan on keeping a couple of pairs out for breeding and the rest will go back in the pond

Mack, You need to send a few back to me. Ken

You will get all them in a week or so. I just dont have room in the pond. You think anyone will want some 5-6" male. They are yours
