SOB!!! I tossed another fish in with this group hoping it would color up. The presence of another male caused this guy to color up more and brought out a very clear green tint to his cheek and jaw. I've always had a slight doubt that this was an aulonocara species. Thought it may be a copadichromis species due to his abnormally large pectoral fins. The green gave it all away, now im certain it is a copadichromis. Its a copadichromis parvus he's in with kandeense females, he's bred with them and I have a tank full of fry that will now most likely turn into feeders. WHY, WHY, WHY! I gave a supplier many hundreds of dollars last year, I explained my plans to breed and still he sent me the wrong fish, TWICE! I dedicated two 40's to breeding groups one for these, the "kandeense" and one for another species that also turned out to be wrong. That's many many months of work and money to only find out I got burned. If I wasn't breeding them I'd say who cares they turned out nice but to get them, grow them, dedicate space and equipment to them and even register them with cares........I'm furious, sent an email....no response. Even if there was one that said "ok here's a 12$ dollar refund" I'd still be furious. What is wrong with people, I'd expect this from petco. If you don't know what it is just say so, especially after someone explains their plans to breed the fish. Now I not only have males I never wanted but females that I need to go buy new mates for. Taking everything in me to step away from the curb. If I stay here a bus will come and when it does I will throw someone under it.
