just want to se what everyone thinks this is...

 

[phensway]

looks like a young rhom to me

 

[Xenon]

Does not look like a rhom to me. Whats up with the white color, no spots? How big is the fish? Has red eyes already.....thats a crazy looking fish, I will wait for the more knowledable people to make a determination.

 

[phensway]

maybe you are right xenon, it does have a black dot behind its gills like a caribe........ but its not a caribe

 

[Xenon]

Its probably a rhom but I just dont know for sure. Usually I can say...."ah, nice rhom"....but for this one I cant. I will wait for the experts to make a determination though as I really am not sure. It could just be a weird picture.... Knowing Jesse's past troubles with whoever he bought this from, I wouldnt doubt if it was again incorrectly identified....

Others,

or

?

he is about 5 inches long and i got him from Shark Aquarium today

 

[JesseD]

yea! tell me about it. every fish i buy is a diff species as to what it was sold to me as. hopefully its a rhom and my luck has changed

 

[Grosse Gurke]

SA is pretty good about labeling its fish, especially at 5". Body shape and tail look like a rhom so I say "nice rhom".

Cant be A Rhom.. the dorsal fins are way too back. I have to say an S. Altuvi.

I'm already dissecting that one. At first glance & remark thought it was S. marginatus after I lightened the image, then I brightened all the way and found the distinctive blank band and what appears to be a thin hyaline edge almost like S. spilopleura. So I'm not sure, but not S. rhombeus. The other interesting thing about this fish is the dorsal fin. It not only sits back as mentioned but appears to have the anal fin forward such as those found on S. brandtii. A better pic would help.

 

[JesseD]

his fins are a little bit ragged. i tried to take better pics and hopefully i can get them to post ( ireduced the image size)

WHat are those worms in the background? Is that safe for the fish??

 

[JesseD]
