Labeo Rubropunctatus - I think?

[Cichlas]

Picked up this guy today. About 12" in total. Not convinced it is a rubropunctatus (red-dotted shark). Anybody got any ideas on an ID?

Just temporarily in with the black shark. No major issues so far though.

Nice. Those look like some monster loaches in the back too!

My god, your black shark is huge. How big is it, how long you had it. That new fish you got looks cool too.

that looks to be bad news....

nice fishes! and tank!!

Nice fish. Your Pbass doesn't go after the loaches? It's going to be a matter of time before the pbass has loach lunch.

Thanks all.

The black shark is around 22" and I've had her for 9 years.

The PBass are quick learners, they tried a clown loach once and got badly spiked in the mouth and it couldn't eat for a while. They never go near them anymore. Any signs of them being eyed up again and they would be out of the tank quick smart.

Anyone confirm the rubropunctatus ID, any other ideas? Am I the only Labeo nut here

You are the only one with the coolest black shark I have ever seen. Make me want to get one.
