shall be great if u can give some pics. :headbang2

Any other pros here can show the diff between v.synspilum and v.melanurus?

is it melanurus have a full red on its body than the synspilum which is only have red color on head part..? :popcorn:.. anyone?
 
Paratheraps Synspilum has the most beautiful rainbow colours on fins and body. Melarunus, imo is a poor cousin in terms of colour, to the Synspilum. The rainbow colours on the Melarunus are not as distinct or crisp as the Synspilum.
 
I don't have a pic of the Melarunus, but here's one of my Synspilum:

seems like both are the same fish dont they??
 
The ones you posted all look like Syns to me. Did you check the link I gave you?You can see the melanurus has a blacker under body and tail fin.The coloration is more one color extending the length of the body where as Syns are more of a rainbow. :)
