My little baby Draco has seemingly regressed and has become incredibly shy and timid in the last couple weeks, and its driving me nuts. I finally went out yesterday on a mission to find some tankmates for him hoping to draw him out. I came home with two - a monster Con male that I couldn't resist, and a misc. Veija of some kind that I've been looking at for weeks in the store. I realize he's probably a mutt (especially in this city), but thought I'd post a couple pics up and get an opinion. This is the unknown guy:

And the only pic I could get so far of Brutus the Con

Sorry I can't be of help but I love the Con, he looks great:D
 
i'd say Synspilum. i had a few of them. its just a bit dark, will settle in soon and brighten up. nice one
 
i third synspilum
 
I'm going to say Synspilum. You ever notice, there's always at least one, in every replying crowd, that says the fish is a hybrid? :grinno: They never give a reason *why*, just that it's a hybrid. The short lateral marking and the shape of the snout makes me think that this is a Synspilum.
 
Thanks for the help all, it turns out it is indeed a Synspilum. It is quite dark since moving in - possibly because it now lives over black gravel and in the store it had beige sand - but at the store it was very light, a peachy pink colour with a lot of sparkle to it. There is another that I left behind because I wasn't sure if it was pure or not, but I think now I'm going to go back and get it.

How's the temperment on these guys? I've read that they're peaceful, which means I'd like to get him out of the monster tank with Draco and Brutus right away...especially since he's the smallest of the trio. Could I put him in my SA community tank, with 2 severums, 3 S. daemon, 1 G. surinamensis, 2 angels, 1 choco, and 1 A. diadema?
 
Oh, and I'll try to get some better pics of Brutus, he's playing shy right now though ;)
