he says the 2nd one always looks the same like in the picture. will post some more pics of 1st set.

does it infact look like a true line of stilletto? he would like to breed them as they aren't readily available but he doesnt want to sell if they arent true.

I forget the 3rd : Aulonocara stuartgranti/hansbaenshi type, need larger picture for the geographical variant but probably Cobué

It is very hard to tell if a fish comes from a pure lineage just by looking at a photo sometimes. It's even difficult by looking at the actual fish itself. I would question the source of these fish and see what was said about them.
