No, they are different. Moba II are Green Murago's. Brown Stripes on greenish yellow bodies. Teal to light green dorsal fins, light blue polka dot faces.

Cheers Greg. Do you have pics of yours mate? How old are they now?

Greg, I absolutely agree with everything in your initial post. It is no different than someone breeding endangered Lake Victorian cichlids (there are a lot of vics endangered), which are on the C.A.R.E.S list.

I personally believe the more endangered the more important it is for that species to be a species only tank, in order to prevent cross breeding. I know you are a thoughtful breeder as well as one that is concerned about the well being of not just this endangered species but any that you keep or breed. So hopefully many will people will start up colonies and take the same care as you will take.

14 wigglers from one and 12 from the other....

Congrats man, I'm really happy to see that u pulled fry from these rare fish. They are endangered but with the right care & right hobbyist I don't see anything wrong about having them. I believe in you man, keep it up & thanks for updates

Indeed! Thank you very much for encouragement! That always helps.

I hear ya. one was a big female and they other was a medium sized one. There are about 6-7 that are full grown adults. I'm talking like 5-5.5" easy. I wouldn't sat quite 6" yet.

This variant is becoming one my favorites. Eventually I will have to sell a limb and get some from you Andrew . Oh and sell an organ too so I can get a house with a bigger basement. Glad to see they are already breeding for you, it must mean you are making them happy.
