[Cellitti]

11" or so sold as a ct dat. he stayed stable during netting, transport, acclimation, and being released in my tank. stayed 100% stable the whole time. has been very active since releasing him in the tank. not laying on his side or nothing. colors are great. tell me what you experts think. one pic is a good one of tail markings. thanks in advance

oh also the pics were taken 1 minute after releasing him in the tank. thanks again

Yup CT

by looking at the diagram you posted on krich's thread the tail looks like st to me. how can you tell????

 

[strollo22]

Because the 3rd tail stripe goes completely down. ST's have kind of a half stripe.

thanks bro. got a even better deal too. lol

See what KRich thinks. If that IS and indo, it's still worth CT money lol because you can't tell.

Lol,thanks but what I think does not matter as there is enough to go by in the photos to conclude that the fish is not a microlepis.BUT,since you said it,it is a beautiful pulcher with interesting markings to me.If it was nearby I would have tried to get it....Now bless us with more pictures.
