![]() These guys are reverting back to the Tangerine colour. If there is anyone out there with these fish and can see what I am trying to say could you give me a hand here please? I now just say that the Males are more “boofy” looking in the head or conversely the females have a softer shape to their head. I say sadly because I have never been able to explain it well enough to others without having a male and female to show them the difference I have never relied on the egg spots and I don’t even look at them any more, sadly though the only way I can tell is by the shape of their head. Now I believe that they were called Bulu point Zebra by the people that bread them as a trade name. Later, when stocks of the fish were found at Minos reef they also started to do it with them but the stock from Metangula were so far advanced they decided to discontinue with the Minos reef stock. I later found out that the fish were line breed from the tangerine zebra P. Take the bottom curve from the B and you get a P. Well it then dawned on me that perhaps the name on the bag that had been smudged also and the fish was from another location. This species isn’t the biggest member of the cichlid family. This is an easy way to tell if you’re looking at a male or female. Males have four to seven spots, while females can have up to three or none at all. Some time had passed and I had sent these fish to Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, they soon popped up in Adelaide.Īs I was preparing bags for sale one day I noticed the texta smudged and the fish name was a good one after smudging but it did not describe the fish. Red zebra cichlids have egg-shaped spots, usually in a high-contrast color, making them highly visible. I even got the group that went to Malawi to check it out for me. Red Zebra Mbuna Adult Size: 4-5 Temperament: Aggressive, especially towards males of the same species. It does well in at least a 30-gallon tank and. I searched and searched for the answer and found nothing in maps regarding a Pulu point in Lake Malawi. This beautiful Red Zebra African cichlid is mildly aggressive so be sure to check out our compatibility chart. ![]() I was beating my head against the wall for a while but eventually found that Pulu Point is actually in Lake Tanganyika where there are no Zebras. I then started to track them down and find the location in the lake. The Pulu Point Zebra came in a few years ago (Guess who bought them lol) and when they arrived one the bags were marked “PULU POINT ZEBRA” and the ink was smudged.
