If it is a solid stripe its a temensis.

what is the rarity of a temiensis? anyone have pics of a large one? should i scoop it up for 20 bucks?

$20 isn't bad for Tems.. the best i've got is $10 each, but that was an LFS guy screwup, and i didn't argue.

Thats not a bad price...Tems are some of the best looking Pbass IMO. They grow a bit faster than the others and have a more elongated body. I wouldn't call them rare but an adult tem is very impressive.

The top picture is a pair of larger 10" tems...The bottom picture is of some smaller 3" baby tems for comparison.
