They seem bigger and fatter in the picture

lol the moke actually looks fatter in person, and the gold dust looks thicker in the picture than it actually is. I love them both though, beautiful fish

Has anyone else noticed a sudden influx of cb teugelsi? I feel like every site has them now, but didn't 2 weeks ago

Interesting. Are the wc more brownish? I bought a tank from a kid that had a couple ornates that I didn't even recognize because they were brown instead of black

It's like this every year. Not sure why availability is not consistent. They're tank raised and induced with hormones.
