Gold form Roselines

[MyGiants]

You know there is another similar almost identical fish called P. Chalakkudiensis that is being sold as P. Denisonii the real Roselines. I didn't even know there was a false Roseline. I think this is what Petsmart is selling so cheap cause I know there's are really ugly with faded red stripe. I guess to the informed eye there is a distinct difference you can spot besides the faded red stripe.

Interesting, I haven't checked the scientific name on the card at Petsmart, but the ones I have gotten from them are definitely P. denisonii.

Everyone who might sell this other species all use the denisonii name. I don't think they know there is another similar fish. Not to say this other fish should be less expensive or less rare.
