I honestly was just told is a intermedius. If someone what's to ID I'll take a picture under his jaw. And yup he was about to give a gold out of the shot some lip.Looks just like mine.. How do you know it's a intermedius? Does its fins look red too? I thought mine was a mala, but I never looked deep into it. But looking good, I prefer this pattern than the typical mala, mines also had the same pattern before he was settled in as yours did before being settled. Golds looking good. What was the hoplias getting ready to fight with? I know that look lol..
