Big Al's hamilton location as these listed on their fish specials for $4.99. I'm assuming they would be a cross? Syn/Guttulatum? WTF is a gold cheek syn? LOL
 
I haven't went there to look yet. It's listed on their online fish specials that was put up yesterday. I was just curious if anyone had that cross (I'm assuming it's a cross).. and what it looked like
 
damn just checked my local big als online specials and nothing interesting except elephant noses

and woah, you have mudskippers and wolffish there? nice
I'd definately grab the syns though!

I got a syn from Petland which is either 100% bifa or a very high % bifa hybrid.
Seems like even a common fish like Synspilum is hard to get these days
 
No such thing. And I hope they didn't cross this fish and market them on purpose.
 
It's a fancy name to enhance sales potential. If you want to ferret out specifically what it is, ask the provenance of the fish. Where were the adults collected? If the answer is "I don't know" wither move on or if you like the way it looks, make a decision.

Marketing 101 - If you can put a shine on a turd and convince people the smell is aromatic AND give it a fancy name...someone will buy it.
 
LOL! True. I'm thinking they didn't order these fish in. They probably came from a hobbyist.

I was told on the phone that they are not selling well. I'm curious to see what they look like.. I'll take a couple pics and post here.
