Bottom round steak and twice baked potatoes with onions and mushrooms,
Lates nilotica (immature nile perch)?
Lates nilotica (immature nile perch)?
I was origninally thinking it was a Lates sp. but I believe their dorsal fins are split and these guys have a continuous dorsal fin. I then thought maybe it's a siniperca species, but it doesn't really match either of the two species that I am aware of. I think I'm stumped on this one.
nope, not even close. they originate from India, so no lethrinops, no lates niloticus, and not a lates for sure 
I think it is a nandus sp. but what kind, anyone have a clue? We might have to toss this one out, but I really wanted to get some educated opinions on this one
Are you sure it is from India? Fishbase.org only lists 8 nandidae in India, 4 badis types(not them, I checked all but the Badis kanbos which I can't find a pic for), The Dario dario (nope), 2 pristolepis (not them either) and the Nandus nandus, here is a pic.
I also found one the did not list, the Badis bengalensis but that is a typical badis.
the fins, head, mouth, foreheadstripe, and eyes are right for the nandus but yours is an odd coloration. Could yours be leucistic? It even shows a hint of the spot just before the tail base.
Do I get to post a pic?
