A fish i've waited for years! Finally one step closer!

thanks a lot!

btw, how many dorsal finlets does this specimen have?

thanks jiapei! it has 15 isolated finlets, plus the last one that one never really knows whether to count or not unfortunately part of the last two finlets have been broken off some time in its life and did not really grow back properly, so they're about half the normal height. i'm debating if i should perform a little surgery...probably not...

Congrats, bro. I know how excited you are, because I would be really excited too if I got mine.

thanks CDM! may be ask your importer to order some from Toyin when he gets more? it could be cheaper than the Kamihata ones. good luck bro!


@ marvin: LOL. heres a ruler action for you. it may not look it, but the tape is lined up with the fish's tail. it's just that the front of my tank is curved (1/4 circle to be exact), so only the middle of the tape is up against the glass.

Thanks! They are very different. For one, ornate has protruding upper jaw, and Pbb has protruding lower jaw. And then everything else is different too. Here's a pic of ornate. A pic speaks a thousand words

I want that Pbb inside me
Huh?
Nevermind.
Seems to be healing up well. Congrats on the awesome fish.
