Petrochromis Red Fin "Longola" vs "Ubwari"

[tbui1178]

Can anyone tell me the difference between Petro Texas Red Fin Longola vs Texas Red Fin Ubwari? I'm trying to determine what the physical differences are. I tried to look on the web, but the colors look pretty similar to me. Snouts are a little different though.

Also, anyone familiar with the temperment of Ubwari?

Thanks!

I think the head shape is the difference....I know there is a post on trophs.com about the two.

I need to look at some more reference materials, but I am fairly sure that Longola is not a Texas species.

Petrochromis sp.Texas Red Fin "Ubwari "- Mean as hell and from Congo side of the lake

Petrochromis sp.Red Fin "Longola" - also mean, but not sure where they come from. I cannot remember...slept since then..sorry.

They are going to have differnt mouths, and they are going to have a different head coloring and pattern.

The Texas guys are also going to be more splatter like in color

So the ubwari does not have the uniform blue like the longolas?

Correct.

But I need to get looking closer at my reference materials, to confrim Longola not a Texas species
