OB gene in all 3 African lakes.
« on: October 26, 2019, 04:01:48 PM »
Does anybody know what species carry the OB gene in all three of the lakes?
I know there are natural occurring OB fish in Malawi and I’m pretty sure it exists in Victoria(the tri color Fulu?).
Is there a species in Lake Tanganyika? I thought I heard there was but cannot remember where I heard or read it.
No matter where you go, there you are.

There is a naturally occurring OB tropheus kalambo. I believe there are some other OB troph variants as well. The OB Kalambo are crazy expensive, if you can even find them
