strains of zebra

If it's about fish in general, or it's a little bit random, then this is the place to post it.

The different numbers for zebras are technically not recognized as strains. Once H. zebra was classified and named, the different numbers were all attributed as the same fish. Basically people still use them to refer to the off patterning that initially got them separate numbers to start with is all. Those three numbers are the only ones technically "described" as H. zebra.

Hi Sparkee,

As Barbie says L98 and L173 are colour morphs/variants of the same species. If you have a copy of DATZ you will notice that L98 and L173 are classified as Colour morphs/variants of L46.

Hi Discusred,

Try this website, I think they sell copies of Datz.
www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk
Andrew, the owner of that site is also a member on this forum.
