New Indo

[Fishes33]

I don't know why I am buying fish again, but it's just too nice to pass up.

Yes....that is a very nice find,was it in a shop?

Yes it was in a shop, and it was getting bullied by a pair of red devils, hence the bite marks. I'd almost thought it was a ST.

AT 9-10" long & at $200, it's a steal!

 

[krichardson]

Good man! I would have gladly forked that over and saved the little guy too!

 

[Midwater]

We have had three bar, four bar, and three and a half bar dats.

You have got a two and a half bar dat.

 

[Fishes33]

It look so much like a ST

 

[Fishes33]

just dirty glass, not ick

sometimes I wonder, would mine be a grade F - ST? It got all the traits, even the tail bar doesn't touch.

or

could it be the result of Indo x NTT? Indo x ST?

Hybridization is a possibility!

Good looking indo whatever the case may be.

It is an Indo. Ghost fourth stripe, and other stripes that do not extend to the belly. A little unusual but not too uncommon.

Never heard of any dats crossing. Don't believe any of it.

Nice looking fish. Be pleased you have got a fish like that. I would like a similar patterned one. Accept it for what it is.

Apparently, the indo love much warmer water to be stable @ 30 Celsius / 86F.
