that's because the first pic is of a juvenile. Rayman's pic is of a sub-adult. The fish changes bodyshape significantly as it matures from a 3" specimen to a 2' specimen to a 4' specimen.

Yes..i know this..but somehow got a gut feel its not the same cat....heard another keeper for the subject cat saying that his cat maxed out only to 7 incher after 1 yr of keeping!

yes, the tail shape looks diff too.

I will try to take closer and clearer pic when I pop by this lfs again..and see if we can spot more on this cat...

Now from the pics of fishbase..i can say it is 90% a different cat now..the shape is sort of different...

not to worry..i will take some pics when i can..to see different angles esp the head portion...

or perhaps i need to buy this chap and put it in one of my tank now to take good pics? hehehe...

:idea:
