L. Ocellatus "gold" - finns i sjön???
Hej, här är jag igen.... 
Ska skaffa snäcklekare till mitt 50-liters kar och har sett den bedårande lilla Lamprologus ocellatus "gold". Indoktrinerad som jag har blivit av Viktor och Ola
i tråden om odlingsformer så är jag såklart intresserad av om den finns i sjön. Min erfarenhet är att fiskar som heter något med Guld är framodlade varianter.
Därför har jag forskat lite snabbt i detta ämne och så klart hittat lite olika teorier som jag presenterar nedan. Dessutom har jag hittat några här på forumet som säger sig ha VF eller F1 av fisken i fråga. En bidragande faktor till att jag misstänker den lilla "guldfisken" för att vara fejk är de väldigt olika färger den har när jag Googlar på den.
Är det någon som har några åsikter om detta ämne? Finns L. ocellatus "gold" i sjön?
Teorierna:
I en artikel på Cichlid-forum.com skriver Marc Elieson:
“There are several varieties of L. ocellatus: gold, white, blue, orange, and yellow fin. [...] The gold morph has a very distinctive, golden-brown sheen to the scales with a rose streak across its flank. It also has an unusual, light brown "skull cap" that sits across its head, just behind its eyes.”
I en artikel på cichlidae.com skriver Peter A. Lewis:
“Rene Krüter who discovered this variant at Nundo Point in Zambia also has introduced a gold form into the hobby. This color morph has a very distinctive, golden-yellow sheen to the scales along the side of the fish, making this cichlid even more attractive. A discrete feature of the golden morph is a golden brown "skull cap" that sits across the head of the fish, between the eyes. [...] The dorsal fin of the male golden variant L. ocellatus is edged with an orange-red band while that of the female is clearly paler, often white trimmed. Further the soft rays of the anal fin of the female are lacking in color. Mature females are shorter in the body than males and exhibit a more rounded belly while males have longer bodies that are best described as oblong in shape.”
I en artikel på aquarticles.com skriver Kevin Cyr:
“Three of these fish were acquired by a U.S. breeder that tried to spawn them. After several months, the breeder determined that he had three males. He then acquired several "Gold Capped" Ocellatus that were from the same area of the lake as the "Golden" variety. The "Gold Capped" Ocellatus has the same coloration as a "standard" Ocellatus, except that there is some yellow above the eyes. A "Gold Capped" female was crossed with the "Golden" male. The offspring were all "Golden". I acquired seven of the "Golden" offspring from this cross. These "Golden" fish spawned yielding predominantly "Golden" offspring. However, there were several from each spawn that appeared more like the "standard" Ocellatus.”
