That's weird, both of my Ansorgii had green pattern but now they are black patterned. I'm so lost.

Yes you are lost! That's why you should let the people who own the actual fish explain them.
Here what's this one?

Or how about this?

Here is my Ansorgiis, what's your opinion? The middle one is a hybrid.

Seems like everybody whos bought from toyin lately has the koloton ansorgii. The markings on the body look like the lap in the middle with all the dots running across.

Agreed. My ansorgii "koloton" have green hues and the middle lateral marking are "fused" which gives it the "dots" effect. I have also noticed a difference in head shapes with the "koloton" having a more elongated and flatter head shape than my "tikinso" ansorgii. Anyone else notice the slight diff in head shape or is it just me hallucinating again??

Mine look the same as fare as head shape.but there is a 5in difference between them

has a cool head shape.

I don't think the main distinguishing factor is the colour of the stripes. Instead, I feel that the racing stripes on the head (similar to that of a lapradei) of the Koloton ansorgii makes the difference
