You're going to look like a fool when you are wrong... Lol. I have a tem, and he looked nothing like these inters do at small sizes.

I agree, thats why i stated they look like tems and more than likely are. I know the differences of intermedia at small size and they look almost nothing like the pictures posted on this forum. Even at 2-3in they have clear indicators. Then again this is the first "possible" import to arrive to u.s for public sale since i believe 2006-2007 so some of you may not have had the sort of experience older members may have had. And why does this whole forum go cranky after one questioning remark? It seems some of the members are so into what they believe, they don't take any other peoplesopinions as an opinion but rather a offence. Enlighten me.

I'm not sure why you say this but I will refer you back to these pictures of 3-4" which have the exact same body shape and the barring is starting to come in

Those pictures can be found here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65311

And here is a larger grow out maybe 5-6" with the same body shape as these guys and even more prominent bars.

And those pictures can be found on this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71238 and oh btw this fish also just sold for $1400 a couple weeks ago. Oh course only time will tell but they look like C. intermedia to me.

Well great post april but are those from this batch?

here is a pic and the pic from this thread as reference

notice no sign of any sort of bar growth not even the splitting of the horizontal bar that leads to the formation of those bars.

now compare with this picture

common temensis almost identical.
