I’m stuck trying to figure out what this guy actually is. I know he’s a marble achara mix but the face and eyes are throwing me off. Anyone able to ID him? Maybe Red Tail? I just don’t see the red tail colors..
Have to admit this is one mix I haven't seen before.
the head looks very Zungaro, and strange to see an almost change from one fish to another rather than a mix of both parents throughout.
Although I know there are some tiger shovelnose x achara cross around at the minute, just doesn't look like one!?
I have to agree with victor. It’s just a normal classic L. Marmortus. The typical colours and markings. Typical round snout. Cool fish to own. A pig with fins, I've always called them.
Happy to bow to numbers, shading on pic doesn't help but appears to have really quiet short whiskers for mormaratus (albeit hard to spot them in pics) but certainly more chance of being straight than a cross of course.
Head much squarer than mine with quite different paterning but again could be down to photo.
