C. pyrrhogaster male - which race?

AuSu · Oct 3, 2014

Thought to ask you wiser guys about this one. There is no locality data (I got three pyrrhos from a person who finished her hobby, assumingly they've been bought on pet trade about five yrs ago) but the female looks like a sasayamae. I've checked out those pictures linked here (site in Japanese) but can't decide whether he looks most sasayamae or not.

They haven't ever bred though there are two males and a female. Of course it can be due living conditions but also maybe different race (although I've read here they can mix)

Thanks for your opinions!

He has a typical Sasayama belly pattern, but it's pretty much impossible to be certain without knowing where he was collected. Sasayama males place one of their hind feet on the female's head/neck while tail fanning in the breeding season, so if he does that, coupled with the belly pattern its very likely he's Sasayama.

Yes, he looks sasayama. If they were bought together from the pet trade, they are likely to have come from the same general locality.

Ok, thanks for the answers! I suppose they were bought together. Have to wait and see if they get to breeding mood any time, about the leg thing

Thanks!
