Title: Anyone heard of aulonocara superman?
Post by: Saulosi77 on February 18, 2014, 10:50:19 PM

I was at preusses a couple days ago and saw they had a few aulonocara I've never heard of.  Guessing their hybrids but not sure.  All were juviniles and not showing much color.  I was just interested if anyone has ever heard of aulonocara superman? What's it look like as an adult?

They used to have a large OB Peacock that they labeled a Superman OB. .

Same thing?

Yet another example of stupid trade names.

Highly doubt scientists would name something Superman & if they did...  it would be supermani ! ;)

Just another breeder that wants his hybrid to be a special snowflake, so they make up a new name....
