In our latest go to to Mr Su well-known ornamental fish hatchery, we’ve got been greeted with many fish of varied sizes and barely completely totally different coloration all of them being hybrids of Very yellow centipede and C. vrolicki.
The very uncommon issue with this particular hybrid, is that every certainly one of them have completely totally different coloration. Some have very darkish tail with darkish orange anal, caudal and dorsal fin margin. A couple of of them even current stripes a bit like in a Tigerpyge. Others have very mild darkish tail, with a very easy yellow coloration.
Most of them are a kind of greenish as soon as they settle, and slowly the yellow takes over as they mature, and extra down the highway, a number of of them practically flip into vivid orange.
Striped specimen:
Striped specimen are most certainly basically essentially the most fascinating ones. We’re in a position to’t decide what is the exact rationalization.
They practically appear as if tigerpyge, nonetheless the road are on no account full. As our good buddy Yi-Kai Tea, knowledgeable us, the dad and mother are most certainly not pure, and comprise a bit of little bit of ‘hidden’ ‘Eibli’ lineage. These are all very intently related and likewise the hybrids are fertile.

Non-Striped specimen:
Some specimen have no stripes the least bit, with a nice vivid yellow throughout the physique center, getting darker as you progress outward.
These mandarin colored fish, are very cute, and really have a novel look.

And eventually some specimen practically have no black throughout the rear part of the physique, which gives them a very fascinating look. These new fish, are very fascinating, and are solely a stone’s throw away from the Tigerpyge. Hopefully throughout the near future we’ll see some right captive bred specimens from Bali Aquarich.
