from what i understand after reading the thread on trophs.com, it seems that the red bulu point and the red lugala point are the same fish?

but when i look at the pics of each on cichlid-forum, it appears to be a different fish all together?
the red bulu has more of a vibrant solid red with a blueish face, whereas the red lugala seems to be more orangeish red in the face, and have an almost burnt orange/brownish body color?
am i missing something?

Whoa... That would be cool...

Except for one thing.. Does anyone know ASL???

As Brian will tell you, I am pretty stone deaf....unless one on one... no dogs barking... no multiple stereo's blasting and things like that...

But Hey... A pepsi and softness around me and people looking at me to read lips... I would do fine...

Coolers for fish??? ya mean you got some of those Frontosa delicacies??



Brian.... That would be cool to pool with you.. Maybe we could even get Joe to come too.... heck.. get a bus going...

could be the mood of the fish at the time of the pics,or flash on the camera,but they do look different in the cichlid forum pics.i wish they would update the profiles section on there!!!

+1. I never own a petro that didn't change colors all the time depending on mood.

Hi all

There has been a thread going on over on Trophs.com about the so called fish coming in from TNT Cichlids..... one of the fish is a trio of petrochromis red lugala point and Kalumba.... Today on the posts is statements that say the fish have been sold already.... Their are many skeptics that this was a genuine sale...

I purchased my wc moba colony from Tyrone 5 years ago and we talk about once monthly. He is a reputable dealer and sells quality stock.

Does anyone know who bought these fish.. and if indeed TNT is on the level and are these the real so called 'red' Lugala points??

I don't know who bought these fish, but they are a different fish than the petro red bulu point like Alli has over at Ultimate Fish. The petro red bulu points are the white rhino right now.

I figure if the buyer wants to make themselves known, that's their business. If I bought these fish, I would certainly share this info with my fish head buds here. I would be busy trying to present these fish with all that was needed to get them to spawn. Selling them to customers that would take good care of them, appreciate them and help increase the numbers here in Houston and the U.S. would be my goal.

Tyrone told me about these fish a while back, but I'm happy with my mobas so I didn't pursue going after these rare fish....now the petro red bulu points would be another story. FYI, wc petro red lugalas go for around $300 each......almost 2x what wc mobas cost. I can only imagine what petro red bulu points would cost.....maybe $400-$600 per fish.

I know the issues have been skirted around and as well as some of the various people stating that there is no way that even these fish can be collected with any kind of confidence.... Stating that the these fish are as rare as the white rhino.... One person states as a diver, that it should be a technicallity that prevents the collection... other people do not state or answer the question of if the fish has been overfished... and or if the people are not knowing where to get them and so forth...

Any thoughts or comments on this???

The petro red lugalas come from Lake T and are harder to collect than wc mobas, mikulas, kaps, kits.....and you probably already know the latter are not easy to collect due to rebels........ These are deep water fish just like my mobas.

Ask all the questions you want........we live in the U.S. Just don't infer that a reputable business like TNT isn't on the up and up. That don't fly.

[billansor]

Hey.... your absolutely right about Tryone of TNT...... I did not infer that he was not on the up and up... but rather others on this forum as well as on Trophs have inferred that there is no way in heck that he can be doing this... In fact... I would assume that since this is now known... there may be some in Africa that will prevent this from happening...

At any rate... as I said... time will tell as to when Tryone gets his order in and if his order contains these fish.... I hope he does.... and I hope that the person who got them.... is blessed with many fry...
