A Lacerdae Journey

Dang. That's a solid looking fish you have there regardless of what species it turns out to be.

I guess I'm a little confused - this was a LFS pickup?!?!?! I was under the impression Rapps brought in some "Red Aimara" just assumed this was one of them.....

If memory serves me right both rapps and Wes brought them in around the same time, it was the only shipment I’ve seen of them having lacs. And I believe red is over seas from us as well

Thanks. Indeed it was picked up from LFS. Any tell tale signs that it could be something else? I am more than happy to learn and accept viewpoints from the experienced keepers here.

Managed to set up proper lighting for the tank. Here are two pics taken today. Possibly it’s my luck to get one with a great appetite; pretty pleased with its growth so far.

I am indeed located at the south east Asia part.

I don’t think anyone can argue that you don’t have a lac lol their look is very distinct

Very Impressive Lac. Well built like a tank.

September update. Still amazed by its appetite and growth. Read that Lacerdae sometimes will go thru a period of low appetite and fasting. At the moment feeding and doing WC at higher frequency to “boost” its growth while still willing to eat.
